113 Heavy and Chubby¹ p.281

　　Watch out， all you chubby guys out there！ If you continue to overeat， you might be just like Michael Hebrank.

　　He's 43 years old. He can't walk. He can stand up for no more than 30 seconds at a time. He has to use an oxygen mask to help him breathe. And he weighs 1，000 pounds（455 kilograms）。 He once became seriously ill and couldn't get out of the house. In the end， he had to be forklifted out after the front wall of his house was torn down. Poor Michael says， “Once I start eating， I can't stop. ”So if you're on the heavy side， take care lest you become another Michael.
