That is INCREDIBLE - thank you!  As hard as it was to watch, I tried to remember being a kid on the farm; seeing the butcher as he cut up our Herefords.  So, I tried to think 'huge cow' instead of obese man!

My husband had to walk away; he couldn't watch.  To me, I could NOT stop watching the results of being obese - it was so informative, and should help everyone realize what they're doing to their body.

Heart failure a heart that was enlarged, and killed him.  Lungs - over-run by the fat; had about 1/3 of the lung capacity as the healtier man.  The diabetic leg; horrible.

It might not be something we want to see, but it's something I think should be SEEN - OVER AND OVER; it might help this entire world if it were shown on national t.v., and people were 'forced' to watch this 9 minute dissection.  It's a shocker, but oh so necessary...............Surprised

You Tube won't let me see it, what was it of? Cutting up a fat man?
have you ever had the chance of seeing body worlds? it is AMAZING! When you walk around looking at the bodys you can definately tell who smoked or who lived in a large polluted city. The lungs were black and so were the hearts. If you ever get the chance to see it its worth every penny. Take your kids if they're older than 10. It would be a good opportunity to teach them about everything and especially the dreaded birds and the bees conversation since they have a section on fetal developement.
that is a must see! im a premed student and they never teach that obesity is that bad... thanks for posting!
i couldnt open it either, what is it?  i'll do a search.....???
its restricted bc of minors so you have to sign in (make an account) to see it... but heres the direct link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3fXb7sdOuQ
thankyou so much for putting this on here, i honestly do not think ive ever seen something as horrifying in my life...its spurred me on to lose more weight and has scared me too, not that im anywhere even close to being as large as he was, it scared me so much, eating healthily and excerising should be part of everyones life.....fact!

That was cool. I just never thought about how much fat would be inside with all of your organs and everything. From watching that show, the name escapes me, where the father and son do weight loss surgery together, I knew that your organs got fatty but that put it in a different perspective.

And yeah, Body Worlds is awesome. I was lucky enough to be in Denver Colorado when it was there and my husband and I went and saw it. Anybody who ever gets the chance should definitely see it!

That was horrific but informative.  Thanks for posting!
ok this is kinda wrong but I'm gonna bump this so more people can it.

Thank you!!!

Amazing...!!! I've been around farm life and cleaning animals enough to see the way fat looks inside... but I've NEVER known the effects on our organs and their placement...!!! Terrible how much pressure that must place on every thing you try to do... I'm sooo glad I'm free of fear of this now! Laughing

That was probably MY Future...!!! Cry

I am even more PROUD of the CC'er's who have been sooo Inspirational in their hard efforts to gain their health back-- this shows how truely difficult some of their struggles have been! Not everyone can just join a gym and conquer this... Surprised

Hat's off to these Great CC'er's who've pushed past these obstacles and kept going when the going was tough! Your examples can bring Hope to those who are facing a Future like this man's, and help them believe they CAN escape it-- when many of us no longer believed we COULD... Cry

You Big Loser's are My HERO'S!!!! LaughingLaughingLaughing

LOVE CC!!! Ain't it Life-saving!!! Laughing

* bump*

I can't forget this! I want others to get a chance to see it, too. Wink

It's saying the video is no longer available due to copyright claim.

Oh, well... Sorry! Surprised

I didn't recognize it... I can't forget the re-positioning of of chest organs caused by being overweight... I have people I love that may be suffering part of this... one already gone...

Maybe llama4u447 could find it again... It was amazing!

It's from the show Eat To Save Your Life with Jamie Oliver.  Can't find the video anymore, but there are lots of articles about it.
