The problems of this girl are obviously not because of a "medical cause"
"Addiction" of food is imo sin and not disease.
Are you crazy Pheasant
They said on the maury show she is always hungry they put her on diets but nothing helped

I think this excessive consume gives them something they like and need. And they like it so much, that they agree to pay the price for it. Not only the price in this life, they agree to take the damage of their soul too.

There are many cases of genetic disorders that can lead to extreme weight gain. In addition their are thyroid, metabolic and other disorders that could also be the causative factor in this case. Without access to a complete medical history, I think we should give this girl and her family the benefit of the dought.
Diets do not always work due to the way our bodies process food.
When we eat, our bodies break down each component of the food to its most component parts. For example, fat Does not remain fat, nor protein remain protein etc. The body simply needs the raw material to synthesize what it needs. If a persons body has a genetic flaw that causes it to produce more fat then required for normal operations, it will be stored thus leading to problems. There are many disorders that are based around a flaw in our DNA that prevents the correct construction of various needed items. (Trace mineral defrcits are another good example of what can go wrong with our DNA)
