Watch Channel 4 UK Documentaries online: Episode 1 Fat Girls and Feeders

For many men big has always meant beautiful. Most simply take pleasure from an amply curved woman, and a host of specialist clubs and internet sites cater to the tastes of Fat Admirers. But a bizarre sub-culture is taking things to dangerous extremes. So-called Feeders are accused of behaviour that crosses the boundary from consent to abuse. These men aren't satisfied with a merely big partner, but encourage and even coerce them to gain weight to the point where the women become immobile and risk their lives. Fat Girls and Feeders features interviews with men and women for whom feeding has become an obsession.
