The fattest man in the world lives in the UK. 48-year-old Briton Paul Mason weighs 444,5 kg. To reach this weight, you need to eat at least 20000 kcal per day. Mason has not left his home in Suffolk County for many years. To cure his severe obesity, he needs a complex operation, but in order to bring the Briton to the hospital, he will have to use a special helicopter. Otherwise, he may die.
The weight loss surgery costs £ 20. Compared to the £ 100 annual food costs, the cost of the surgery is not that high.
Mason has been fighting obesity all his life. All these years, he was looked after by his mother, but six years ago the woman died at the age of 76.
Mason received the title of the fattest man in the world after the Mexican Manuel Uribe, who weighed 571 kg, lost up to 300 kilograms for his own wedding.
