A 5-year-old Indian girl who weighs over 75 kg
Posted on August 31st, 2009
Suman Khatun is a 5-year-old Indian girl who just can’t stop eating. Suman’s problems were noticed ever since she was three months old and by the time she turned two, she weighed 38kg. Now, at age five, Suman weighs over 75 kg and will continue to gain around 15 kg every year, unless her condition is cured.
Her parents earn little over $10 a week and are having problems providing the amount of food Suman needs. She eats 10 kg of rice, 5 kg of potatoes, 24 eggs and 6 liters of milk every week and often goes around asking neighbors for more food.
Doctors say she will end-up eating herself to death if she doesn’t seek medical help soon.
