    Yes I think the newspaper should retract this article so that when we find this guy he doesn’t have to come home to all this. Please delete and rewrite. He is a middle aged man with a diagnosis of bipolar disorder that matches the description of 5’3 400 lbs not a missing 400 pound man. People first language! If you quietly just edit out the headline I think we can move forward from there.

    “Sane” needs to eliminate fast food, junk food, and soft drinks. He also needs to invest in a Peloton bike.

      Nope. All the elephants are where they’re supposed to be.

      However, much of their food is missing.

      Maybe they’ll name a fitness center after him. It wouldn’t be the first time.

        They could call it 5 MINUTE FITNESS nest door to Hometown Buffet.
