Extreme obesity

Tigerlily33:
At 50 mil a year, I could run it for a year. That seems too steep to me. We would need donors and feeders/feedees. The more people you have, the easier the media finds out and then there would be all kinds of problems. Not practical.

The soup kitchen would probably get audited

How much does it usually cost per year to maintain a feedee once they get to be 1000+ lbs? I can imagine food-related expenses would be incredibly high, and there would be a lot of medical costs. What other expenses usually come with that type of lifestyle?

sts996:
How much physical strain does the hoyer put on a 1000+ pound person even just being lifted for a minute or 2 at a time?

What about a house that keeps people growing to 1000+ and the idea is it’s funded by content documenting their growth? Just an idea 😅 There’s gotta be someway to pay for everything

I mean, maybe this is being looked at the wrong way. To maintain the confidentiality, raise funds, and allow for it to all be done; there may be an argument to run it as an experiment with published results.

I know most labs at Cambridge and Imperial
College that use animals avoid publication of details of the phd students, the prof, the post docs etc. Med studies are anonymised etc.

Further to that, data related to human extremes likely has value in a number of areas so there may be a number of avenues for funding, if not from health funds like horizon 2020, then private pharma.

Just design the experiment so that all the feedees gain in to through current bariatric tolerances for G20 health care systems and include some form of trial related to general feedee choices on how they like to gain.


Define the variables, establish a control group, include extant data for a proof of concept and you have a feedee facility, funded, doing public good and protected from prying eyes by legislation.

I have been fortunate enough to help 3, people so far reach their goal of immobility. 2 of my feedees decided to move into nursing homes after becoming immobile. And the other feedee I fed until the day he died. Let the questions begin.
