How Much Do You Want to Weigh?!

I'm a little behind in the times I suppose. This is not something that I want to give a lot of brain power to try to understand fully, but this is a blog/video/commentary on a woman who is working furiously to gain weight to be 1000lb. It is hard to discuss a top like this without injecting a hint of opinion! The long and short of it is that this woman is over 600lb already, has two children, and makes money off of a website where FA's pay $$ to watch her eat and 'move her body'. She is proud of how large her belly is, and believes that there is absolutely no recourse for her behavior, in terms of any weight related health issues she may face. Of course, she already appears to have mobility and breathing issues/difficulties.
I'm not so much worried with the issues this women's blog (not the 'gainer' but blogger Mia Freedman of AU) because there is always going to be arguing when it comes to body image issues and people thinking one way or another about morbid obesity and the views that it's OK to be as fat as you wish or just are. I just wanted to put this phenomenon out there for those of you who have not heard of it. Not sure how I had not heard of it until today! lol
I guess my real issue is that some people want to deflect, and say that Mia Freedman is the bad guy because she didn't moderate more of the rude comments people posted blasting this women who's on her weight gaining quest. Yes, saying mean things to fat people is mean. However, I think we need to look at the issue at hand that is more important:
At what point does body acceptance and fat acceptance become wildly dangerous? And, it's not just dangerous to this woman. She has a teenage son and a young daughter. I've seen that she 'wishes her children live thin lives'. How is that possible when she is clearly modeling an unbelievably extreme lifestyle choice?! Even NAAFA "opposes the practice of feeders..."
Where do you draw the line?

My idea....is that this woman figures she can not lose the weight so she is going all the way" sorta speak to gain more and at least make some sort of statement and or attract some sort of attention..whether it be positive or negative!! hey we are blogging about her right!! So, she has already made a name" for herself!!
Well, I guess I can say that I am trying to bring attention to this phenomenon of "gainers", and this woman unfortunately is getting my attention! LOL There has to be something underlying though... She is killing herself in front of her family, and now the whole internet.
Well, this question: 'How Much Do You Want to Weigh?!', is answerable by: I want to weigh the exact weight for my age. But, the question is, is it at all possible and doable? Families and friends may be a great help on this quest! :-)
