You can pay to watch this woman eat online! But I think I'd just rather go out to a nice restaurant.

Woman aims to be world's fattest

10:30 AEST Mon Mar 15 2010 By ninemsn staff

An obese mother in the US is trying to put on weight in order to become the world's fattest woman.

Donna Simpson, from New Jersey, weighs 273kg but told the Daily Mail newspaper she had her heart set on reaching her goal weight of 1000lb (450kg) in two years.

The 42-year-old already holds the title of the world's fattest mother after giving birth to her daughter in 2007 when she weighed 241kg.

"I'd love to be 1000lb ... it might be hard though, running after my daughter keeps my weight down," Ms Simpson told the Daily Mail.

Ms Simpson, who needs a mobility scooter to go shopping, eats huge amounts of junk food each week and tries to move as little as possible so she doesn't burn off as many calories.

"I do love cakes and sweet things, doughnuts are my favourite," she said.

Ms Simpson said she also loved eating sushi and would often eat 70 big pieces in one go.

Her 49-year-old partner Philippe � who she met on a dating site for plus-size people � was encouraging her to reach her goal, she said.

"I think he'd like it if I was bigger ... he's a real belly man and completely supports me," she said.

To put on enough weight, Ms Simpson will need to eat 12,000 calories a day, which is six times the recommended daily intake for women.

In order to pay for the enormous amounts of food she is eating � her weekly grocery bill is $815 � Ms Simpson makes money by running a website where men pay to watch her consume fast food.

It's disgusting, but it's this woman's right to be a world-record winning fat pig.

Of course, you can bet that down the road she'll be looking for government hand outs and government health care to take care of herself, her family or her kids.

Sure, she is paying the cost of the food needed to become a fat blob, but she should have to pay the consequences too ... She should get no government help for food, housing, or medical care, no unemployment insurance, no government help for her family or kids when the feast ends and the reality of this disasterous plan sets in.

Would she even take on such a stupid plan if she knew that she'd have to deal with the consequences of her actions on her own?

According to this the heaviest on record was 1400 pounds, and then he lost almost 1000, so thats pretty impressive in both ways. Anyways I wonder why she doesn't have her own reality tv show, I guess she doesn't move enough to make it interesting.

A) How this passes for news? I don't know.
B) If she wants to turn herself into a disgusting pig, more power to her.
C) She has officially given up any moral right to public assistance.

I think I had to sit next to her on a plane once. She had to remove the big, wide armrest in first class just to fit! She apparently had experience in doing it though, as she told me it just required a heavy tug. It was ironic though, because that is exactly what she reminded me of!

Poor thing. Then she had nowhere to put her McDonalds!

Of the many things that annoy me about flying, and there are many, people who take fast food on airplanes is near the very top. McDonald's smells like ass and to open a bag of it up in a small enclosed area is incredibly rude.

I guess it would depend upon whether it was a meal flight. Some airlines are getting pretty chintzy these days. Cebu Pacific makes you even pay for water!

They could plan ahead. They could even just eat the food in the airport. Taking it on the plane is just rude.
