The worlds fattest baby!

For a considerable amount of time the obesity epidemic has continued to expand throughout society like the waistlines it has affected. More and more people are falling prey to awful diets and extremely sedentary lifestyles that are fast tracking them into rolling into an early grave. 

Until recent times obesity was largely associated with gluttonous adults who could afford to indulge. However, this elephantine scourge has caught up with the younger generation, and in the case of this expose - the very young. So when the news of a 10 month year old morbidly obese baby in India reached TCC HQ it raised eyebrows. 

This baby, called Aliya weighs an astonishingly 2st 13lb making her one of the heaviest children in the world for her age. How and why?! You may ask, perhaps like us you may wonder how any parent could allow their child to get to such a hefty weight. So what happened, then? Well, things started off generally OK for this baby when she was born. On saying namaste to this world, followed with a instinctive head wobble, baby Aliya weighed in at a respectable 9lbs. Although slightly heavier than the average new born 9lb wasn't something to cause great alarm for her doting parents. 

However, things rapidly changed when this baby got a taste for curry and began to feast on monster meals that were three times bigger than a normal child's. Yes, really. I sincerely wish this was a cheap joke, but I'm afraid it isn't. Consequently baby Aliya weighs around the same weight of a six year old child. (Or hippo'). 

Her parents, who live in a remote village in India have been forced to buy her new clothes every two weeks because her sarees have become "too tight for her." Basically a euphemism to say that their inflated baby is bursting out of her clothes at a rate even The Incredible Hulk would say is too much. 

The overwrought parents of this fat baby believe that their beloved child is suffering from a mystery illness that renders her to always being hungry. And because they are so poor it has been a real struggle to satisfy her ferocious appetite.

Aliya's mother, Mrs. Parveen, 25. Explains how it has become very difficult to carry her baby as she has become too heavy. She also adds that the strain of looking after her greedy child has become challenging as she has to juggle that with her house work, making poppadoms and watching marathon Bollywood movies. This isn't helped with the fact that her husband, Mr. Parveen, 28 returns home late at night. 

Aliya's father chips in saying, that his daughters constant hunger is putting pressure on his family's finances -  because as a humble tailor he earns less than £3 a day. He further elaborates with how he has to often borrow money from relatives so that he can feed his family, and of course Aliya. A doctor from Deli, Dr Krishan Chugh candidly claims that not so little Aliya is the biggest 10 month year old he has  ever set his eyes upon. (Before exclaiming a loud: "Goodness gracious me!" Followed by a violent head wobble) He explained: "This could be morbid obesity or even an hormonal imbalance. But tests would need to be conducted before a proper diagnosis could be made. 

Regardless of her very obese state Aliya is very popular in her village. Her father affirms.  "All of the children come to play with her." (Yeah right, perhaps childhood ingenuity has made them realise that they have a bouncy castle at their disposal so it's playtime whenever they go around to laugh at Aliya). Adding that very few can lift her, though. 

Well obviously!
