This is disgusting.

A 603-pound woman believed to be the heaviest in Thailand left her apartment for the first time in three years Thursday with the help of Bangkok city hall and a forklift.
Bangkok's media-savvy governor Sukhumbhand Paribatra summoned camera crews to document the event, which involved engineers, demolition crews, rescue workers, doctors and nurses.
"I've been living in this room and have not gone outside for three years," she said, whose weight is roughly the equivalent of a grand piano. "I can walk a little, just enough that I can go to bathroom. But I have to cling to my son the whole way."
Umnuayporn walked slowly to a trolley aided by her son. She was rolled down the corridor to a nearby empty apartment where workers had torn down an inner wall to allow her entry and demolished a section of the building's facade to take her outside.
This woman is a burden. How much money is she costing her government? Imagine what her sons life must be like to have to walk his own obese mother to the toilet and back! He probably has to feed her the buckets of food she must consume. I feel sick.

I teach one thing and one only:
that is, suffering and the end of suffering.
 I do eat: only what is needed for . I can't help it that we live in a piggish society where gluttony is the norm, and everyone else is constantly stuffing themselves.
