FAT NATION…

There is something tragic about this story and at so many different levels.
A chronically obese teenager cut free from her home by workmen after she grew too big to go outside remained in hospital today. Georgia Davis, 19, weighed up to 60st by the time she was urgently rescued from the house that had become her prison.
Got that? 60 stones.
Neighbours claimed today that the teenager, from Aberdare in the South Wales valleys, had not been seen outside for up to three years. In that time her weight ballooned to such proportions it is believed it became a serious threat to her life. Dozens of neighbours watched as Miss Davis was carried out of her home on a specially constructed stretcher yesterday.
Three questions;
1. She is only 19 years old. WHERE were her parents and family?
2. How can it be that her GP and health workers sat back and allowed her to balloon to these virtually unimaginable proportions?
3. This teenage girl must have been spending a fortune on food. How did she afford this?
A stone equals 14 pounds.
She was 840 pounds
You have to laugh though. At least she has edited herself out of Darwin’s ‘natural selection & survival of the fittest’.
The local bakery will miss her custom.
Hey Dave you hit the nail on the head, she had a family full of enablers and that is the problem. If she hadn’t been out of the house in 3 years she sure wasnt feeding herself
Bernard grow up
I’ve heard of cases like this in the US and in Mexico
I don’t think that there are many.
I wonder if there have always been such cases
The solution is a stomach operation which will restrict the amount of food that she can eat. Either that or she will die.
