- misnome 10y ago> To put it in perspective To put it in perspective, the NHS still operates on need (and thus compassion), not headline-convenience or those for whom mob rule determine "deserves it".

- Chris2048 10y agoThis guy needs 20k calories? isn't it, thusly, more compassionate to not give him that much food? The mob, in this case, pays for the NHS, it's entirely driven by who deserves it.
- MichaelBurge 10y agoFat cells do replicate when they reach capacity. It's possible that he might need 2x or 3x the regular amount just to maintain them. If you cut calories, the fat cells might starve the rest of the body. I'm not sure how he gets to needing 10x, though.
- laichzeit0 10y agoI'm not a dietician but ketosis sounds like the perfect diet for him. Let him eat nothing but fat and protein so his body starts using all those fat cells as energy.
- kolinko 10y agoNHS could've delivered him limited amount of food. He definitely didn't need this much.
- IanCal 10y ago> All 20,000 calories worth of sick food? No. The only point in the article where it says the NHS was paying for his food was when he was in a care facility, and there will have been a single charge for the room, staff and food. At this point he was also spending all his money on food.
