Susanne Eman, a living metaphor for the U.S. of A., swears she's fine and won't let anyone dissuade her from eating her way to the record books.

A woman in Arizona (fast becoming the new Florida) has decided she wants to become the world's fattest woman by eating 20,000 calories every day until she hits 1,600 lbs. Susanne Eman, a mother of two and an obese model who already tips the scales at 750 lbs., is aiming to put on an extra 50 before the year's out by plowing through enough food to feed a class of kindergartners every day. Eman gives herself 10 years to hit the one-tonne mark (provided she, you know, lives that long), a goal she hopes to get to by filling six grocery carts once a month with all matter of corn-starch laden goodness for her consumption. She also claims that she's (relatively) healthy, and that the more weight she gains, the more attention she gets from the gentlemen (fans of “super size big beautiful women” apparently not being in short supply). Power to her, we guess, although don't be surprised when her kids turn 18 and turn into vegan marathon runners.
