"The man's brother, who lives with him, said he suffers from Prader-Willi Syndrome." They should show us a picture of him so we can see for ourself.
Prader-Willi Syndrome is an AWFUL disorder. Doesn't matter what kind of food or drink... just gimme more... anytime... all the time... the hell with other things. A second part of this insideous syndrome is that calories are burned off at a tremendously reduced rate as well. The one two-punch of insatiable appetite plus the dramatic reduction of metabolism causes most sufferers to die fairly early. I did know a 52 year old sufferer who claimed she was the oldest living Prader-Willi sufferer. I never did check the claim but she was a character. Lovely soul. May she rest in peace. It is not uncommon for Prader-Willi Syndrome sufferers to eat themselves to death. Literally.
