the world. Standing at just 3ft 5ins, and tipping the scales at a
flabbergasting 14st 5lbs (203lbs), this child weighs five times
more than she should. Captured on film, Suman is roughly the
same weight as two Kylie Minogues, a Great Dane, or former
England rugby player Jonny Wilkinson. More pictures after the

In one week, Suman, from West Bengal, India, munches her way
through an incredible 14kgs of rice, 8kgs of potatoes, 8kgs of
fish and about 180 bananas. All my friends are thin, but I am
fat,' says young Suman disconsolately. 'I have problems in
standing, sitting, sleeping, playing and running with my
friends.'
Her parents claim they are powerless to prevent her stomach-
defying eating habits. 'I am very concerned about her future, as
my other kids are normal,' says mum Beli Bibi. 'It's painful,'
she adds. They have requested the help of the local doctor to
manage her weight, who says: 'We think she has
hyperthyroidism, but she needs to be examined. 'If it's not
controlled, she might get diabetes or heart diseases.'
