He starts his day with a fry-up breakfast
made up of four sausages, five fried eggs,
a pan-full of mushrooms. Consumes vast
quantities of ice cream, thinks nothing of
devouring an entire loaf of bread
smothered in a whole jar of jam at one
sitting. He cannot walk, wash or dress
himself.
Now 412kg, Carl Thompson has been
awarded the dubious honour of Britain’s
fattest man. He took the title from
postman Paul Mason, who dropped from
around 444kg to 139kg after having a
gastric band fitted.
According to UK media, the 32 year old
man has not had a job since he was 17
when he worked in a food factory. At the
time Mr Thompson said he ate everything
the factory didn’t sell. But after the
death of his mother in 2012 from a brain
tumour, Mr Thompson turned to food as a
means of coping with his grief.
