Forklift helps 700-lb Mexican man take rare outing

[tyler811]

WOW simply wow

Manuel Uribe traveled to the shore of a lake in northern Mexico without ever leaving his specially designed bed. A forklift hoisted the bed onto the truck, which then hauled him to the lake, where he snacked on fish and vegetables and joked with a local boat operator.

Looking at the boatman's small craft, Uribe joked, "Too bad I can't get on it ? it would sink."

A lethargic or sedentary lifestyle combined with even one meal a day can make people fat. If you're not eating on a regular basis, the metabolism slows down and your body hoards food as fat. Even eating twice a day while sitting on your ass getting zero exercise can make people obese. Throw in 3 square meals a day and you have a beached whale.

I guess my response to that is why would they have such a lazy lifestyle? Get up and move people!!

Well, it IS mexico. What the hell is there to do besides sneak into the US? 😛

On a side note, I'm not sure what's more unhealthy: being a thousand pounds or losing 250lbs per year

IIR he was also engaged to be married.

Don't even want to think about the consummation part.

I remember seeing a special on Discovery channel IIRC about this guy. I feel bad for him, hopefully he can overcome his weight issues and at least live a somewhat normal life.

Oh you terrible insensitive people.
What you don't realize is that this guy isn't fat, he's a Hut. In fact, he's Jabba's cousin, Manuel the Hut.
The ONLY reason you didn't actually know that is because the MIB crew has been doing a great job of hiding that fact, and *FLASH* ...........

Well at least the man got to see some stuff. I bet he got tired of his bed room.

 

[Bignate603]

Well, you've got to admit he's lost a bunch of weight. Hopefully he'll keep going.
