Paul Mason
Can you guess how heavy the fattest man in the world is? The answer is 444.5kg, which is the weight of British man Paul Mason. Recently, health authorities planned to cure by forcefully transporting him in a military helicopter.

According to a report by Taiwan's Nownews, the 48-year-old British man is now the fattest in the world because of a dietary inadequacy disease. Mr. Mason suffers from an eating addiction and it is believed impossible for him to diet. He had admitted to eating about 20,000 calories daily whereas a normal adult male eats about 2,500 calories in a day. All he can do now is just lying on his bed everyday.

Mexican Manuel Uribe was crowned as the global fattest man when he weighed 572 kilograms. However, Uribe reduced his weight to nearly half that and got married last year. The Mexican successfully took off the "crown" and subsequently Paul is now the king.

Paul once reduced his weight to 285kg, but it did not last long. After his mother died local government sent 2 nurses to look after him. The amount spent on Paul is as high as 10 thousands pounds per year.

His doctor is worried about his heart not being able to bear such a huge burden and decided to take him for enforced medical care. To transport him, health authorities even considered sending a military helicopter, but instead they used a refitted ambulance. And the health authority said they are responsible for helping Paul because his disease is a kind of mental illness.
