Woman With World’s Largest Ass: People Shocked I Have ‘This Much Butt’

Sarah Massey would be just another 33-year-old mother-of-two from Chicago — if it weren’t for the fact that she also happens to have the world’s biggest butt.

Though not officially recognized by the prudes at Guinness, Massey’s massive 7-foot wide keister requires a pair of 10XL trousers that would komfortably fit all of the Kardashian sisters kombined.

Massey insists the condition that resulted in her museum-sized bubble butt is hereditary — “there’s nothing I can do about it,” she says — but that her love of ice cream certainly contributed to its maintenance.

Though she grew up feeling ashamed of her dimensions, adulthood taught Massey that many men admire curvy girls.

She told Barcroft Media the discovery came about by accident: She had taken a few photos to document her weight loss, which a friend then uploaded to Facebook.

“They got so many likes that he asked if we could do some modelling pictures, then those pictures went viral,” she recalled.

Massey would still like to lose some weight, but says she now has a new-found appreciation for her natural assets, and fervently defends them against anyone who calls them fake.

“Some people can’t believe one person can have this much butt,” she told Barcroft. “Because I’ve got a relatively small frame on top they say, ‘that can’t be real.’ I carry this weight with me all the time, everywhere I go, it’s definitely not fake. Big booties are just in my blood.”

Social workers take children from families who overfeed them

obese child

Britain’s obesity epidemic, which sees NHS hospitals dealing with 1,000 cases every day, is a reversal of the traditional problem when children were undernourished. Increasingly social workers find youngsters being fed a high-fat, sugary diet, which can be just as bad for their health.

The phenomenon is known as “killing with kindness” because the child craves the unhealthy food and a loving parent feels unable to say no.

Professionals say they have to make complex decisions in care proceedings and a family’s gross over-eating can be one of the factors that leads to them losing their children.

A Sunday Express survey of councils found that in the past year five children were taken from their families for that reason: two in Wake-field, West Yorkshire, one in Oxfordshire, one in Salford and one in Hounslow, London.

The previous 12 months saw five similar cases in Sheffield, Portsmouth, Lincolnshire, Slough and Harrow, London.

A social worker said: “Only in extreme cases would we take a child into care just because of their weight as we would seek to work with the family to improve their eating habits.”

Ex-Chief Medical Officer Sir Liam Donaldson warned in 2006 that health chiefs would look at removing children from their families if they became super-sized, risking their health.

Plus-sized fuss: Double-chinned Barbie raises ire

plus-sized Barbie

A simple question on social media about one of the most popular dolls in the United States has created an online tug-of-war over obesity and body image.

The site Plus-size-Modeling posted a pic of a plus-sized Barbie on Facebook December 18 with the caption: “Should toy companies start making plus-sized Barbie dolls?”

HLN has reached out repeatedly to the site, but has not heard back. Meanwhile, the post has garnered nearly 40,000 likes and more than 2,400 comments, with many people agreeing with one premise — that Barbie, a relic of the 1950s, should be reinvented and depicted in a more realistic way. But many people are outraged at the imagery, saying that an “obese” doll promotes unhealthiness rather than “realness.”

“Barbie doesn’t need a double chin. You can be ‘plus size’ w/o the double chin. They could make a ‘thick’ Barbie,” user Vanessa M. commented on Facebook.

“This is not what plus size women looks like. This doll is a terrible impression of a plus size woman,” said Facebook commenter Lisa D.

McDonald’s on employee resources site: Not lovin’ it

It seems that McDonald’s has finally realized how tone-deaf its internal employee resource website was. It has shut it down.

The final straw? A tip on the site to employees to avoid McDonald’s fare.

A graphic on the site shows a meal with a cheeseburger, fries and drink under the caption “Unhealthy choice.” Next to it is a picture of a sub, a salad and water under the caption “Healthier choice.”

The latest embarrassment is among a string that’s cropped up since the McResource Line website went live.

A McResource budget-planning guide for its employees was ridiculed in July for being out of touch.

“For starters, it didn’t account for food and gasoline,” CNNMoney reported. “The second line on the sample budget leaves room for income from a second job, which many called an admission by the fast food giant that its workers can’t live on its wages alone.”

And then earlier this month, NBC News reported that the site offered a guide on how much one should tip a pool cleaner, housekeeper, and even an au pair.

The only problem: The University of California Berkeley Labor Center and University of Illinois released a study in October that said 52% of families of fast food workers receive assistance from a public program like Medicaid, food stamps, the Earned Income Tax Credit or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families.

The fast food giant found itself again having to deflect unwanted attention from its internal site this week after CNBC reported that McResource ostensibly advises McDonald’s employees to not eat at McDonald’s.

“Fast foods are quick, reasonably priced, and readily available alternatives to home cooking. While convenient and economical for a busy lifestyle, fast foods are typically high in calories, fat, saturated fat, sugar, and salt and may put people at risk for becoming overweight.”

Visitors to McResource Line on Wednesday were greeted with this statement: “We are temporarily performing some maintenance in order to provide you with the best experience possible. Please excuse us while these upgrades are being made.”

McDonald’s confirmed the site had been taken down in a statement posted on its website. “A combination of factors has led us to re-evaluate and we’ve directed the vendor to take down the website. Between links to irrelevant or outdated information, along with outside groups taking elements out of context, this created unwarranted scrutiny and inappropriate commentary. None of this helps our McDonald’s team members.”
