Uribe spent the 1990s eating pizzas and burgers in the United States where he worked as a computer repairman. Addicted to junk food, he eventually tipped the scales at 1235 pounds (560 kg) back in Mexico, bingeing on greasy tacos.
His bulk made him the world's heaviest man and won him a place in the 2008 edition of the Guinness World Records.

I don't understand how junk food such as pizzas and burgers can be addictive. They are disgusting.

Work is so dull, even if busy. I could do with another week off work!
I'm off to Melbourne tomorrow for an extended weekend of football, returning on Monday. Three games in a row on Friday night, Saturday afternoon and Sunday afternoon. I might get sick of football by then!
