This show made me really sad. Not least because it shows how ignorant people are. While I don't understand how someone can reach that level of obesity in the first place, it was clear from the show that the families of these two obese men were not helping at all. I was pleased to hear Kenneth's family was recieving nutritional counselling, but I hope Billy's mum did too.. how could she do that to her own son? My heart went to the poor boy. He is 19 but this obviously started long before, when he was only a child. People need to learn about food and realise that giving your child - or anyone - whatever they want will, in the end, only hurt them.
