He suffers Prader-Willi Syndrome, a rare disorder involving obsessive eating, learning difficulties and growth abnormalities.

According to wikipedia, this disorder causes mild to moderate intellectual impairment and behavioral problems as well as constant, uncontrollable hunger. If access to food is not strictly limited, the person gains a lot of weight.

Appearently it affects between 1 in 10,000 and 1 in 30,000 people.

It's probably not long until some fatties are going to claim that this disorder is responsible for their weight...

I've already seen it. They also will ignore that fact that it is heavily associated with mental retardation though.

My former flatmate tried to diagnose herself with Praeder-Willi."But everything fits, I have the same facial features and I'm always hungry!"
