Woman's Quest To Weigh 1,000 lbs

A New Jersey woman currently tops the scales over 600 pounds... and says that is not enough.  Donna Simpson says her goal is to reach a nice, full-figured, round number of 1,000 pounds.  For the twisted, she displays videos of herself eating at this link (For the record, I have no problem watching car crashes, explosions, etc. but could not bring myself to viewing that link).  She uses a motor scooter to travel because walking more than 20 feet is tiresome.  She downs 12,000 calories per day (the average American eats about 2,000).

Research has proven that 87% of health care costs are attributed to lifestyle choices, rather than "natural selection."  As an American, it is her right to eat as much as she wants.  It is her choice to gorge herself to the point that where she ends and the sofa begins is anyone's guess.  But with that said, it is also her responsibility to pay for the health care needs she is undoubtedly going to have.

It's a shame that, according to Rasmussen, as many as 43% of Americans are for a health care plan that will continue to allow Ms Simpson eat, drink, and be merry... all on taxpayer dollars.
