Discovery Health Channel happened to have something about this on last night. It was about this kid in England who is 2 years old and weighs 84 pounds. He's actually been diagnosed with an extremely rare over-growth disorder--I think they said there's only 40 cases known worldwide (called MOMO(?) syndrome). The mother went to Brazil to meet a 17-year old girl who has the same syndrome. Poor thing, she wasn't super big, but the over-growth thing lead to a weird ridge on her forehead and eyes really far apart. I don't know if this is the case w/ the kid in the picture here--it sounds like they're just feeding him too much. Anyway, really interesting story if you get a chance to see it.
