Remember, us Americans use "cal" to represent "1000 calories" to make us feel better about what we eat. The rest of the world uses "kcal."

So 30k US calories = 30 * 1000 * 1000 = 3*107 real calories. Or 30 million. That's more energy than a pound of gasoline, or about 143 standard Hershey bars. I don't think he drinks pure gasoline, so candy is a safer bet.

Holy gently caress, if we burned him alive we could keep NYC lit up for like a fraction second. Or my hometown for a day.

Maybe...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munchausen_by_proxy

quote:

Münchausen syndrome by proxy (MSbP or MBP) is a controversial term that is used to describe a behavior pattern in which a caregiver deliberately exaggerates, fabricates, and/or induces physical, psychological, behavioral, and/or mental health problems in those who are in their care.


Though, its most likely just plain https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_neglect

quote:

Child neglect is a deficit in meeting a child’s basic needs. Furthermore, child neglect is the failure to provide basic physical health care, supervision, nutrition, emotional nurturing, education or safe housing. Society generally believes there are necessary behaviors a caregiver must provide a child in order for the child to develop (physically, socially, and emotionally).

Maybe codependency with a side of some sort of delusional disorder? I haven't watched that particular video recently, but if it's the one I'm thinking of the mother had lost a child previously (I don't recall how, maybe stillborn, maybe SIDS :smith:) and had a very bad reaction to the trauma of it. She basically lost her ability to discern the difference between her son being mildly discomforted and truly suffering. And the kid bought into it totally because what child doesn't like a diet of junkfood?

VVV also another possibility. How fat is the husband?

Codependency fits. Her son is gone for a day and she cries about it. I think she had another son that died (reading the comments).

Just the way we write it on nutrition facts. All goods intended for American consumers just print "cal," everywhere else prints "kcal."

Which isn't to say that people out there might think it's literally just calories.

This is Knut Beun, he is a famous hardanger fiddle player.

The worst I've seen is some 16 year-old kid in the south that was just the worst. He was a morbidly obese mama's boy who just sat in his room and played video games and watched movies all day. His family didn't make all that much money, so his mother just rented everything for him, and would feed him in bed. He would loving scream if his mother wasn't there to feed him or give him games/DVDs. One sequence had him basically forcing her out of the house to rent games for him the day after Hurricane Katrina. They got some kind of counselor intervention, and the kid was screaming bloody murder when his mom refused to cater to him. He also made a huge deal when the counselor made him just walk around a bit on the back patio.

I can't remember what it was on, though I'm assuming it was TLC or A&E.

They want to do some kinda lap band surgery on him, but there is too much fat. So they have another surgery first where they cut out 70lb of flesh which is what you see there. (A hospital record)

His mother is so obsessive and controlling it's freaking me out. Never seen anything like it except maybe with obsessive dog/cat owners.

To be fair at that size he basically is a pet more than a son.

So you get kiloJoules and Calories (kilocalories). Here in the US we just get Calories (kilocalories) and nobody is really scrupulous about the capitalization.

70-ish calories (really Calories) per 250 ml of sweetened iced tea is about what we get here, too (8 oz. = 240 ml)

Sometimes the term "dietary calories" is used for kilocalories/ Calories, just to distinguish them from the scientific measurement.

1 calorie is 4.184 Joules

1 kcal = 1 Cal (with a capital "c") = 1000 calories.
