Obese model Susanne Eman from Arizona aims to become the world's heaviest woman by consuming 20,000 calories daily, targeting a weight of 115 stone (1,600 lbs). Critics express concern over her health and the financial burden on taxpayers, as she is unemployed and reliant on social security disability due to her weight. The discussion highlights the potential mental health implications of her extreme goal, with some arguing that her actions reflect a choice rather than a mental illness. Many participants question the societal acceptance of such self-destructive behavior and the role of media in promoting extreme body images. The conversation underscores the complexities surrounding obesity, personal choice, and public health.

if she can afford to support such a ridiculous lifestyle then fair enough, let her do what she wants.

She can't, she's unemployed.

Except now I'm sure she's got loads of money from selling her story. Ironically people are paying for her to do this.

Let me get this right she is unemployed and gets social security disability ($2000 per month) because of her weight. I am unemployed and normal weight so I get nothing ($0 per month) from the government.

I wonder how much she spends on food. At 21,962 calories a day that $2000 a month starts to shrink very quickly. I figure to eat around 3500 a day and likely spend $400-$500 on food a month.
