This is Beyond Obese!

Sunday, September 6th, 2009

When I read about this little girl, and then saw the pictures, I was saddened. I mean, she is only 5 years old, but she supposedly weighs 168 pounds! Yes, you read correctly – a 5 year old girl weighs 168 pounds! Whose at fault here? Is it her parents for allowing her to eat so much, to where she is basically beyond obese, if there is such a thing!

According to news reports, who have labeled her the ‘World’s Most Hungriest Girl’, Suman Khatun, from West Bengal, India, is so insatiably hungry, she devours over 10 kilograms of rice, 24 eggs, six liters of milk and five kilos of potatoes in just a week. One week people! Supposedly, Suman has a chemical imbalance which fuels her desire for all of this food. Do you believe that? Is that possible – especially in a 5 year old? I really don’t know the answer, so if you know, please share with us.

In addition to the reported chemical imbalance, Suman also has respiratory problems, due to her weight. I say again this is truly sad. She’s just a little girl, but because she weighs so much – 168 pounds – she looks much older! 7DayBuzz readers, what’s your take on this? Do you think this real or is it a made-up story that’s making its rounds on our beloved internet? I’ve posted pictures of Suman so you can see for yourself:
