The fact that she apparently has a web page where guys pay to watch her eat fast food.....beggars belief
Its kind of sad to observe the social conditioning that assuming that someone is very heavy, is automatically assumed to be crazy, and outcast, disgusting gross, and above all, unhealthy and a drain on society. Congratulations, you have let the MSM get to you. To where you even resort to hate mongering. Fact is she says she is healthy, and plenty of people can even be morbidly obese and be healthy.

I was about to agree with you until I noticed the source dailymail.co.uk...seriously it's clone of FAUX News. Don't believe anything you read there, it's only for entertainment.

Skinny doesn't mean healthy.
I have an uncle who claims he is healthy because he is thin. Yet he drinks,smokes a lot, eats tons of fast food and gets four hours of sleep a night. His lifestyle could off him before a lot of heavy people.
But since his devices are not as apparent, he doesn't have to face the same scrutiny and admonishments that someone who has an obvious eating disorder does.
Sad that someone with anorexia is to be pitied, but someone with an eating disorder is a menace to society.

So what exactly is the issue here? We have a woman with an addiction, who has a husband who feeds her addiction, and between them they have a child. Said addiction is damaging to the woman's health, said husband is not taking this into consideration, and said child will eventually suffer by not having her mother in her life.
I think this is what I am getting from the posts on this thread. I have a few questions.
Although this woman's addiction has the propensity to render her body void of life, it would appear by the opinions of some that her mind has already reached this plane of existence, as well as her father's.
How is this particular "sickness" if you will prove them to be parents that are any less loving of their child than a parent living with any other addiction? Say an addiction to sports, Hollywood, politics, etc.
Couldn't it be argued that any lifestyle lived by a parent that does not put their children first, has the potential to render those children useless to society? Render them just as selfish as their predecessors? Put them in a position to continue the cycle?
Her physical health may indeed be at risk in this situation, but her mental health does not deviate from the "norm" by any standards in my opinion.
Our society is laden with people who put their wants and needs in front of their children, regardless of the mental repercussions the children may face.
It may be different in London, but sadly I don't see it that way here in the states.
