I saw this program on the TV the other night about this really fat woman in England, who had waited 10 years to have her stomach stapled so she could lose weight. I was thinking -- over the course of 10 years she could have lost all that weight by herself, but she kept on eating and eating, and eating. It would have been cheaper / safer to chain her to a radiator and feed her some crackers and chicken noodle soup for six months. That would have done the trick.
