I'm pretty sure that's not how burning calories work.

Scents of charred bacon filled the room as he went ablaze. His last words before passing out... "I smell yummy"

There's the seeds of a horror story somewhere in there.

Some parts are not...My boyfriends mother came from the upbringing where women are not supposed to be thin because apparently it means you're poor. She made really rude comments about my weight the first few times she met me.

Edit: They are from Hong Kong.

I don't think it will help them lose weight but I actually am in favor of setting fat people on fire

I dunno, seems like a great way to start a grease fire.

Things this boy will never experience: 1) wiping his own ass 2) sports of any kind 3) possibly puberty 4) flirting from the opposite (or same for that matter) sex 5) blow job, hand job or masturbation. How fat it TOO fat by age eleven? If you can't give yourself a reach around, YOU'RE TO FAT!

Actually, one of the characteristics of Prader-Willi syndrome is hypogonadism, so you're not so far off. Nevertheless I do feel bad for people with PWS and I don't think they deserve our fat-hate :(

How much rice do you actually have to eat to be that fucking big at age 11. He has an eating disorder? That means there are no adults to regulate his food intake? It's a mental disorder, not physical. Withholding food will not hurt the lad.

Prada willis is brutal... it is unsatiable hunger coupled with mental disability. A girl in my town had it. Her parents had to lock the fridge and cupboards. If she wasnt kept an eye on at school she would raid other kid's lunchboxes.

Prader-Willi is pretty bad. It causes mental retardation and interferes with the brain's ability to detect satiety, so someone with the condition always feels like they are starving. IIRC it's caused by a gene deletion on chromosome 15 and is inherrited from the father (so the gene is missing in the sperm, not the egg). Caregivers need to be very strict and literally lock all food away because people with Prader-Willi can't feel full (they always feel as if they are starving) and can actually eat so much that their stomach bursts. Sufferers will often eat non-food items like pet food or items from the garbage.

So yes, caregivers need to withhold food, but not all caregivers are good caregivers and some aren't as diligent as they should be. There was actually a really interesting documentary about Prader-Willi on YouTube, I'll see if I can find it.

Edit: not the doc I was looking for, but this video is just as informative. You can hear it when some of the children talk that there is something "not quite right". Also for one of the obese kids, his obese mom admits to giving him extra food he doesn't need because she "feels bad". It just boggles my mind; you know it's bad to do that, but you do it anyways. Obese mom can't control her own urges, she shouldn't be allowed to care for a special needs child.

Edit 2: forgot a few words
