Just watching CNN International on my friend’s cable and it had the segment on this kid and the authorities taking him away from his mum (on tv she has super bad skin) and then I guess giving him back again. If he was eating just bacon, chicken, steak and sausage he wouldn’t be obese, though. No doubt he’s been chowing down on cakes, cookies, pasta, pork rinds?
