It’s about that time to start doing a little physical activity.

Just sitting down in Dzhambulat Khatokhov’s house sucks you straight into his empty world. “There is not a single piece of furniture that he has not broken,” his mother, Nelya, laments as I perch on a stool barely held together by a quiver of nails.

Six-year-old Dzhambulat is 4ft 7in (1.4m) tall but weighs a staggering 15 stone (95kg). Since he was three, he has been touted as the biggest child in the world.

Converted, that’s roughly 208 pounds. At 6 years old, this kid weighs more than I will probably weight my entire life.

    It’s so sad. Not even his fault. His parents are obviously idiots.

    Someone needs to direct them to the nearest subway and put him on the Jared diet.

    An interesting thing to point out is that he lives in europe. I think it is interesting, because many people mark america as the “land of obesity”. Just my 2 cents…

  7. ClaMs says:

    Well yes, America is the land of obesity, but goes to show that Europe can do anything the US can, and better if it feels like! :p
