Yes it is when you think about it.
I could not *imagine* allowing myself to give someone that much food
if I knew it was making them bigger and bigger and literally killing
them slowly.
My oldest son, who has recently gotten into cooking, has tried to be
an enabler of sorts when he decides he wants to cook dinner (about
twice a week now). A couple times he has said to me that i don't
*need* to eat low carb and I told him..'Oh but I do so if you are
going to make dinner for me be sure it is lowcarb.'
The other night I had an argument with him about not putting salt in
*my* food through the cooking of it or otherwise. He tried to tell me
that salt would not cause me to have water retention but after pulling
up a couple webpages on the net (our computer is next to the kitchen)
he did not put salt anywhere near my food.....and my dinner *was*
lowcarb.
He made steak and asparagus roll-ups. :-)
I *won't* allow him to enable me (just as I won't enable myself) and
it will pay off in the end someday so he will not do it to someone
else he cares for.

Some interesting tidbits: Carol Yager who is said to have weighed 1600
lbs, had a BOYFRIEND. ``Her teenage daughter, a boyfriend, and a group
of volunteers helped take care of her.''

It makes one wonder, eh?

When I read that I just envisioned a planet w/ many moons orbiting around her.
She needs psych attention as do her servants.
How sad.

I think the saddest case is that of #4 Michael Edelman who starved to death
weighing about 600 pounds. Just goes to show that someone does have to eat
no matter how fat they are. He seriously needed a lot of psychiatric help
and he evidently didn't get enough or it wasn't in time.

Why wouldn't your body metabolize the stored nutrients (well, except the
ones that you don't store, like vitamin C, etc.,), and burn the fat rather
than him starving to death. I don't get it. I always thought you could
live off of your fat.

It does. If you don't eat it will burn fat for energy. It will also
metabolize muscle for the glucose it needs to function. Your heart is a
muscle.

Good for you for standing up to him and wanting to eat better!

It was either stand up to him or not eat the food he cooked
if it was not low carb or salted and he hates it when I don't eat the
dinners he takes great care to prepare.
He even got pissed at me another time when he made me
an LC dinner but I had fallen asleep before it was cooked
and by the time I came downstairs to eat it it was cold and in the
fridge. That made him upset but I told him it was just as good nuked.
Strangely it still pisses him off.
He wants to be a chef. Do they have strange temperments? LOL

OMG...temperamental, egotistical, they enrage easy....I thought I wanted to
be a chef until I worked in a kitchen. That cured me!
Now I cook for pleasure and I never yell in the kitchen.

However, if you read the biographical information you will notice that in a
good number of cases the individual died while on, or after a weight loss
program. Kind of makes you wonder doesn't it?
