Donna Simpson, a single mom in New Jersey, weighs 700 pounds and is trying to gain an additional 300 pounds so that she can claim and hold the Guinness World Records' title of World's Most Obese Woman.

She says that she couldn't do it without the help of her 4-year-old daughter, who shops with her, helps her prepare food, and feeds her so that she can pile on additional pounds.

Yeah, eat yourself to death, lady. That's the way to do it. I doubt she'll reach a thousand pounds before the weight takes its toll.

Sorry if that is cruel. It's just my two cents.

Take her poor child away pleaseeeee! This 'mother' should be ashamed of herself. Not only is she headed to an early grave but shes making her daughter help her acheive it! She may not care about herself, but how could she do this knowing that she will be leaving her child without a parent some day soon?

I received a text from a friend who has a habit of informing me about 0dd stories such as this one.

Anyway, I g00gled her name and noticed that this is one of those women who also makes money off of being a BBW Fet1sh model.

Hey, whatever floats your boat...And if you've got it, flaunt it...

I have no problem with her doing it to herself...but to involve her daughter is wrong. When she dies of her excessive weight related health problems..the daughter will remember every bit of food she brought her mother. At 4, the daughter is too young to realize what she'd doing and is not in any way responsible, however at an older age she will remember and feel a lot of undeserved guilt.

Funny thing, there's no "Contact Me" button at her website.

PS - if you're eating, don't go to the website. There's a picture of her in all her "glory" on the homepage.

This is absolutely disgusting on SO many levels, but the real victim of this situation is the 4-year old daughter. Donna, a child of that age is NOT supposed to have a job, especially one which is probably giving her a skewed worldview when it comes to food, love, and parents. And guess who's going to foot the bill when her health problems overwhelm her? Yup, the taxpayers.

You know, she could probably get the Guinness record, get notoriety and publicity, lose all the weight, then write a book, create a website of how she lost it all, come up with a new fad diet of what worked for her, and make a ton of money. Sickening. And a terrible example of how to live to your child.

But what about the 2000 lb bro and sis in Germany or what that from 'News Of The World'?
Iffy at best, kinda thought so, they were still ambulatory, flaw right there.

1000 lbs....only in America would this be promoted, encouraged, and celebrated!...oh, and by many, defended!
It sick...its sick she not only involves her kid, but kinda comes off as bragging that the child is involved....What heppens if her kid, despite her mother, grows up with a fully functioning brain and realizes that she helped kill her mother?....yeah, no one cares because that's a poor story line.

She deserves all the bad things that will happen to her....sadly, her kid does not.

What is really sad is she is probably on disability for being a pig.

Sez she makes 100000 from her website, Seems to me she couldn't get disability,
Hope she's using some of that for her 'healthcare plan'.

J. sorry I couldn't make it that far in the article, what a gross commentary on life in America.
02:22 PM on 07/11/2011
She'll die young and leave her daughter in terrible emotional and financial straits. What a waste.

For what she's having her daughter, 4 yrs old?, do for her, this pig should be charged with child abuse and thrown in jail. She'll lose weight there.

This story is so disgusting. I'm appalled.

would probably be against some fake "right" to force her to lose weight....

Personally, I don't give a rip what she does, but I do believe Child Services should remove the child from her.

The article is even freakier. People pay online to see her eat. And then there's this:

"Simpson told the Daily Mail that she's looking for a new partner to help feed her the 15,000 calories per day she requires, so he can relieve her daughter of those weighty responsibilities."

Hmm next partner-whirrll all her food in a blender and have it in a feeding funnel at her mouth.
Then she can sit in a big bowl with a drain in the bottom for 'what comes out' and then never has to move, just swallow from the funnel and excrete the wastes out..........hmmm isn't that how we raise some of our food animals?
