Perhaps they have higher metabolisms. I don't believe they have
particularly high activity levels.

I certainly don't think you could eiher. David is slender, and I
have a few extra poinds. I cannot conceive of weighing 600 pounds.
I'm uncomfortable if I even approach 200 pounds.

Most of these 600 pounders were chubby as children and just kept
gaining continually. They're usually totally inactive and might have
slow metalisms, but for they most part they simply eat in incredible
excess. When the doctor has mentioned it he has said that most of
these people eat 10,000 calories or more every day.

I have been seeing something I hadn't seen at all in my youth. Very fat
children Now it's fat teenagers never seen without a bottle of something
in their hands.

It seems they can't move without a drink
