I've just watched 'Half ton Dad', a reality TV show about a guy in Houston who weighed over 1,000lbs. He was?
described as morbidly obese and was bed ridden. He blamed everyone but himself for his condition and para-medics had to remove a wall in his house to take him to hospital. At the end of the show his daughter was shown feeding her 10 month old daughter french fries and a hamburger, claiming she didn't worry at all about ending up like her Dad.
Are we supposed to have sympathy for these folk? Am I missing something?

I have no sympathy for people who do this to themselves. Yes, genetics can play a part but I am sorry what you put in your mouth and lack of exercise has a LOT to do with it. For his daughter to be feeding her child french fries is insane, and as a mother makes me very angry. My daughter did not even know what fast food was till she was about 5 years old and even then it was very rare that we let her have it. She has always loved fruit, veges, chicken, healthy things like that, and is now 18 and still would rather have a salad for dinner than fast food.

was it on TLC?
anyway, I saw something like this a while ago
Poor guy, and looks like the genes gonna pass on poor baby + what the daughter mis-feeding him.
He will grow up been an obese kid. I don't think program was meant to get a sympathy. It has to go as a wake up call for our eating disorders.
