I'm watching my 600lbs life and I can't figure out how people can afford to eat so much, food isn't cheap, and I'm guessing they're eating a couple
hundred dollars a day worth of food.

It’s same as any addiction I suppose… you lose interest in anything other than the next fix… and you fork out money to feed it (literally in this sense)
I worked with a man who was obese and had just had a son. He was trying to lose weight but owned the restaurant and loved to eat. He said, “food has been my hardest addiction to break… because I still need to eat. It’s like telling an alcoholic they can have one sip of alcohol an hour”

@WaryWitchWandering I never thought of it that way but it makes sense.

@WaryWitchWandering Yeah I had a guy at the apartments say he could always go to his uncle’s hamburger place and get fed. He was on disability for his weight and got $ from that and pretty sure food stamps too. He said every man in his family was huge and his uncle included and they usually died young. A few years later his uncle had a heart attack and sold his restaurant. And another man with a hamburger restaurant chain here also had a heart attack.
