As children, we are told to have a dream. In America, children are often told to dream big.
New Jersey mother Donna Simpson is a perfect example. Her goal: Become the world's fattest woman.
That's her honest-to-God mission in life. To be THE fattest on record. She's been working hard at it for years.
She only has 400 pounds to go.
When I read a few reports about her (start here or here then go here,) I was bewildered and sickened. But ranting about it doesn't do any good.
This story is what it is: A large woman with serious issues enabled by a subculture that's funding her march to half-ton status.
You don't have to troll the Internet for content to realize this story is not unusual. Ever watch Jerry Springer?
Then I realized there's a lesson to be learned from Treasure Bombshell.
