Donna Simpson (born 1967) is an American woman who has expressed a desire to become one of the world’s heaviest women. She wishes to attain a target weight of 1,000 pounds (450 kg). Simpson says her food costs US$582-750 per week. She eats 12,000 calories per day.
“In a typical day I’ll eat four burgers and fries, a loaf of bread with
peanut butter and jam, four servings of meatloaf and mashed potato, a
large pizza, a chocolate cake with ice cream and cream, 12 cupcakes, two
cheesecakes and fizzy drinks.”Her favorite food is sushi, and she can eat 70 pieces of sushi in one sitting.To attain her goal of a 1,000 pound bodyweight, she has limited her movement.Dr. Carla Wolper, a registered dietitian research faculty member at
the New York Obesity Research Center, criticized Simpson’s eating
habits, saying they are self-destructive and New Jersey taxpayers will
end up footing her health bills.In late 2010, Simpson ate a 30,000 calorie Christmas dinner
consisting of “two 11kg (25lb) turkeys, two maple-glazed hams, 6.8kg
(15lbs) of potatoes – 4.5kg (10lbs) roast, 2.3kg (5lbs) mashed, five
loaves of bread, 2.3kg of herb stuffing, three litres of gravy, three
litres of cranberry dressing and an astonishing 9kg (20lbs) of
vegetables”, and the dessert consisted of “a ‘salad’ made of
marshmallow, cream cheese, whipped cream and cookies.” The dinner
reportedly took Simpson two hours to consume.
