Manuel Uribe travelled to the shore of a lake in northern Mexico without ever leaving his specially designed bed. A forklift hoisted the bed onto the truck, which then hauled him to the lake, where he snacked on fish and vegetables and joked with a local boat operator. Looking at the boatman's small craft, Uribe joked: "Too bad I can't get on it - it would sink." Once considered the world's fattest man, more than two years of steady dieting has helped Uribe drop to about 310kg as of June - 250kg less than his former Guinness record weight of 560kg. He did not say what his current weight is. While somewhat bothered by the summer heat, Uribe appeared to enjoy the outing. He is still unable to walk, and his last planned outing in March was aborted after the platform carrying his bed got stuck under an overpass. His last successful trip outside his home was in March 2007, when six people pushed Uribe's wheel-equipped iron bed out to the street as a mariachi band played and a crowd gathered to greet him. Before that, he hadn't left his home in five years. AP

August 16, 200816 yr Even though this doesn't take place in the US they should enact something that states if you are over a certain weight you have a limited amount of time to get rid of it or you get killed, sort of like a youth in asia.
