He has the woman on who is trying to be the heaviest woman in the world. She is defending herself. Saying she can be healthy?
The show is about Fat admirer's. Men who love big women.

    you know what, she may be young and a lot of young obese people use their age to defend themselves....obviously, if she continues to be obese, it WILL catch up with her. There is just no doubt about this. It will cause her joints to swell and have arthritis, ALL CAUSED BY HER OBESITY. Of course, she won't blame it on her obesity though.

    Haha, reality hasn't caught up with her yet. She's like barely 30 I think. She could recover from this still if she tried diligently for two years. That won't happen though. Her life is so wrapped up and dependent on being fat that if she loses weight she'll lose her "career", fiance and attention. It's really depressing...

    She gets paid to have someone film her eating.

    She probably thinks that losing weight is just not possible for her at this point, but it really is. People like her make me want so bad to reach out and help them because I know if I did it, anyone can do it and I definitely have the magic bullet to do it too.

    I can't find it on my cable list :( But I'm sure pretty soon she'll end up with high blood pressure, cholesterol issues, diabetes, joint issues, etc. I luckily realized what path I was on while I have young age on my side and had no issues medically but I'm sure if I kept it up I'd be there eventually.

    I had read about that woman before, but to actually see her and hear her speak sent shivers through me. How any woman with children could laugh in the face of medicine, say there's nothing wrong, and continue to commit slow suicide is simply unfathomable. She kept saying how healthy she was, and Dr. Oz tore her story down, doused it in gasoline and set it on fire as if to say "HELLO!!!!!! WAKE UP!!!" and it went through her ears, the fat that is her brain, and right out the other side. She's obviously very sick, both mentally and physically. With triglycerides that high one typically won't live much longer. She'll be dead relatively soon. Dr. Oz knows that, her sons know that...yet she remains clueless! It's insane. Totally insane. She needs to be committed for psychiatric care and put on a restrictive diet. I feel so sorry for her sons. :(

    She blew off everything he had to say and said she is healthy. Even though everyone tells her she is killing herself. I really think she is doing it for the money she is making off the story. I feel so bad for her and her children.

    OMG, she really made me mad. She knows good and doggone well she is not healthy. I think Dr Oz wanted to slap her back into reality. She's killing herself and apparently she does not care.

    Dr. Oz is all sensationalism packaged as a "doctor" who really cares about you. Don't fall for it. The man has given more bad advice than I care to remember. He's concerned with ratings only. That's why he had this woman on tv. If he actually cared about her at all he'd be trying to get her treatment. Needless to say I am not a fan.

    You're not alone. There's you, me and I'm betting the entire apple juice industry would like to have a word with him.
