so basically.. if you kidnap twin brothers.. one is of normal weight, the other is morbidly obese.. if you stick both of them in different cells and give them only water to drink and maybe a few breadcrumbs per day (lets throw in some vitamin pills for good measure).
I guess the normal guy would maybe last a months before he starves to death looking like a skeleton shrink-wrapped in skin.
But what about the fat guy .. would he die before his brother, because his out of shape body can`t handle the stress OR would he last longer and survive until all of his body fat is consumed
so..when the fat man dies.. is he still fat or just as gaunt as the other man?
