Donna Simpson Eats 30,000 Calorie Christmas Feast
You may remember Donna Simpson, a 600-pound New Jersey woman who became a media star earlier this year when she announced that she hoped to eat her way to 1,000 pounds. Well, she's still working at it, and her Christmas feast will certainly help her achieve her disturbing goal.
According to a report in London's Daily Mail, this is what she ate on Saturday:
Two 25-pound turkeys, two maple-glazed hams, 15-pounds of potatoes, five loaves of bread, five pounds of herb stuffing, four pints of gravy and four pints of cranberry dressing. Don't worry, she did get her fill of healthy vegetables as well: 20-pounds worth.
Then there was dessert, of course -- a "salad" made of marshmallow, cream cheese, whipped cream and cookies.
That's a total of 30,000 calories. Simpson downed it all in two hours.
The 46-year-old Simpson defended her meal, which cost around $230, by saying, "I eat as much as I want, whenever I want but at this time of year I really go all out. Christmas should give you carte blanche to do whatever you want."
Simpson now weighs close to 650-pounds, and hopes to one day be the Guinness World Record holder for fattest woman. She already is in the record book for being the fattest mother, giving birth in 2007 while weighing 520 pounds.
Simpson actually makes money off of being fat, getting paid to make public appearances and running a Web site where people can pay to watch her eat.
"I love eating and people love watching me eat," the single mother of two said. "It makes people happy, and I'm not harming anyone."

Feel the love.
Such anger and ill-feeling toward this woman! I bet the ones who are the angriest are the fattest. I'd bet even money on it.
Don't worry though, I'm not gonna fault you for being fat, only for being hypocrites.
Why don't you fatties sweep your own doorstep before you instruct this lady on how to live?
Doesn't she know that she's wrong and selfish
Seems to me that Ms. Simpson has got at least 5 of the 7 deadly sins covered: Gluttony (obviously), but also sloth, greed, lust (extravagance) but the worst of the lot? PRIDE! How does she figure she's not hurting anyone? She's hurting HERSELF, and she's hurting her children who will deprived of a mother when she completes this slow form of suicide she's committing. The very idea that she would DELIBERATELY put on that much weight just to get fame? Disgusting...and those who are encouraging her to gain the weight via feederism is just as bad.
Just plain creepy
What a pig. Who pays for this woman's health care . I bet she is on "disability" also. Her disability which we are all paying for is that she is stupid, fat and lazy. This story is disgusting. Who paid for the high risk cesarean that took 39 Dr.s to perform. There are not enough words in the english language to convey how revolting this is.
Not Harming Anyone?
What about your two young kids, where do they fit in to this disturbing plan of yours? By harming yourself, you are harming them. You are their mother, it is your responsibility to look out for their best interest. Is it in their best interest to have their already morbidly fat mother eat her way to her death? What kind of role model are you and where are your priorities? Is the fame, recognition and money worth the consequences of what you're doing? Have you thought about this? I am so appalled by your sheer disregard for the future and well-being of your kids. Shame on you!
Alrighty then...
I'm going to go there.
I hope she gets what she wants. And then I hope that she suffers for it, for all the people who TRULY have a hard time losing weight and are morbidly obese. She is so absolutely selfish, such an attention starved corn-fed hog, eating food that could easily feed others daily. There is nothing good to come of this, except her own warped sense of achievement. So go on hog-woman, eat yourself to death. Cheers.
AMEN!!!
All of you have made some great points and I agree wholeheartedly. I think Starwynn especially made some great statements when she mentioned the impoverished people both at home and abroad who don't have enough food to feed themselves or their children, and then this woman spends hundreds of dollars just to feed herself?! It's so frustrating. And like she said, there are people who are struggling to lose weight and then this crazy woman is working to put the weight ON?! As joYETI said, we also have to wonder how this woman supports herself and her family besides the crazy income she gets from being an oddity for others amusement. Is she forced to claim disability?
