It's Only Wafer Thin

While men and women are paying hundreds to thousands of dollars on weight loss programs and corrective surgeries, we have an inmate who filed a lawsuit because the prison he is in didn't  feed him well enough for him to maintain his 413 pound figure.

Broderick Lloyd Laswell says he isn't happy that he's down to 308 pounds after eight months in the Benton County jail. He has filed a federal lawsuit complaining the jail doesn't provide inmates with enough food.

According to the suit, Laswell weighed 413 pounds when he was jailed in September. Police say he and a co-defendant fatally beat and stabbed a man, then set his home on fire.

"On several occasions I have started to do some exercising and my vision went blurry and I felt like I was going to pass out," Laswell wrote in his complaint. "About an hour after each meal my stomach starts to hurt and growl. I feel hungry again."

We had better straighten this mess out pronto. 

And finally, monsieur, a wafer-thin mint.
