Greediness to the max!

This is the weirdest & dumbest thing I've read on the news. Eating 15 packs of Chips per day???

Some people should control themselves, or even better, stay away from their ultra addictive stuffs........

A WOMAN nearly died after eating nothing but CRISPS for three years. Gina Gough, 22, was rushed to hospital with severe stomach pains after scoffing 15 packets a DAY. She suffered jaundice and her weight had ballooned from 9st to 14st. Doctors first thought she had picked up the highly infectious liver disease hepatitis and sealed her in an isolation ward. But they later discovered her condition was a result of an addiction to high-fat, chemical-rich potato snacks. Gina, a nursery nurse, from Cannock, Staffs, needed four-and-a-half hours of emergency surgery to remove a massively inflamed gall bladder. It had swollen to the size of a tennis ball and could have exploded at any moment. After the operation, surgeons found gall stones almost 1½in across. Talking about her crisp addiction, Gina said yesterday: “I’d start off with a packet for breakfast and then I’d have a second one. I wasn’t tempted by any other food.” Gina began snacking on crisps after losing her job in 2000. She said: “I was depressed but felt good after crisps. “My mum used to tell me that all the crisps I ate would make me ill but I shrugged it off. “I didn’t think anything this bad could happen to me — but I could have died.” Gina insists she got high on the fat and chemical additives in the crisps. She is calling for health warnings on packets. Gina is now eating low-fat meals, regularly exercising and has lost more than 20lb. She said: “I used to be a very happy-go-lucky person but I started to get mood swings and became very snappy.” Research by US scientists suggests fat and sugar in high quantities have a similar affect on the brain as heroin and cocaine. Dr David Haslam, chairman of the National Obesity Forum, said Gina was lucky to be alive. He added: “Crisps should be eaten only once every couple of weeks.” A HI-TECH implant that fools obese patients’ brains into thinking they are full is set for UK trials. The £12,000 device, inserted into the stomach wall, confuses digestion nerves. Dr David Haslam said: “We don’t know how it will work. The proof is in the pudding.” THOUSANDS of women refuse to quit ciggies for fear of putting on weight, say researchers. A poll by NiQuitin CQ found 68 per cent had been put off. But nutritionist Rimi Obra said: “Quitting is the best thing smokers can do for their appearance.”
