I just watched a show about people dealing with morbid obesity. They had one gentleman on there that at over 33,000 calories in one day. I heard it and my jaw dropped. I can't even conceive of eating that much. I forget the fat intake but it was astronomical. The number that stuck with me though was the 44g (yes grams not milligrams) of sodium a day.

Following that show was a show about the Brookhaven Obesity Clinic in New York. It is unreal to see some of these people at 500, 600, even 700+ lbs and the complications surrounding it. They also talked a bit about the psychological aspects of the food addiction, denial, etc.

Did anyone catch them, or seen them before? What were your impressions of the shows if you did see them?
