Here is the content of a Christmas meal.
2 x 25lb oven roasted turkeys
2 x 15lb maple-glazed hams
10lbs of roast potatoes
5lbs of mashed potatoes
5lbs of steamed broccoli
5lbs of chopped carrots
5lbs of sweet corn
5lbs of roasted butternut squash
5 loaves of house-baked bread
4 pints of cranberry relish
4 pints of house-made gravy
5lbs of herbed stuffing
1 tray of mixed green salad with dressing
It could easily feed 15 people or more. In this case, it fed one person.
Donna Simpson. See reporting in UK
Sunday Mirror (26 December 2010). Excerpt
Donna, from New Jersey, USA, claims to be frustrated that she can't eat even MORE as she aims to almost double her weight to 1,000lbs (71 stone) in a bid to smash her current Guinness World Record. She has already gone down in history as the largest woman ever to give birth.
Jacqueline was born when Donna weighed 38 stone in a dangerous delivery that required THIRTY doctors.
She spends up to £500 a week on food and gets through 12,000 calories a day - the healthy recommendation for women is just 2,000. Donna is proud that her blood pressure is "normal" but her doctor has warned that she will die if she continues her quest and she has dangerously high cholesterol levels.
She cannot walk more than 30ft at a time or stand for more than five minutes. She wheezed and appeared out of breath all through our interview.
She should get out more. Oh wait. She can't. Perhaps that is the problem.
