Woman Aims to Become World's Fattest

Donna Simpson, from New Jersey, weighs 273kg but told the Daily Mail newspaper she had her heart set on reaching her goal weight of 1000lb (450kg) in two years. The 42-year-old already holds the title of the world’s fattest mother after giving birth to her daughter in 2007 when she weighed 241kg. ”I’d love to be 1000lb … it might be hard though, running after my daughter keeps my weight down,” Ms Simpson told the Daily Mail.

In order to pay for the enormous amounts of food she is eating — her weekly grocery bill is $815 — Ms Simpson makes money by running a website where men pay to watch her consume fast food.

If you find this fascinating/nauseating check out the British documentary “Fat Girls and Feeders.” It focuses on a subculture of American men with a fetish for feeding their morbidly obese mates. Many of the women run websites where would-be feeders buy them food and pay to watch them eat it.

I saw it in 2004 and swear to god not a week goes by that I don’t think of it. Those images haunt me. (I also like to tease M. about being a feeder. How else do you explain this when I insisted I wasn’t even slightly hungry? Ate nearly every bite, anyway … of course. :)
