An overweight prisoner is suing the authorities for not feeding him enough after he lost about 98 pounds.Broderick Lloyd Laswell, who is awaiting trial for murder, dropped to 308 after eight months inside the Arkansas prison.
He claims his vision has gone blurry while trying to exercise.
The prison says the meals average 3,000 calories a day - more than the US recommended daily intake for adults.
Laswell has filed a federal law suit complaining Benton County jail does not provide inmates with enough food.

The Fattest State In America
If you want to look at obesity trends, then the US is the place to visit.Because apart from a few Pacific islands, the US is the world leader in obesity.
It has the most obese population in the developed world, and the rate of increase is alarming.
So where to go in the US? You could choose any state. But one stands out more than most.
Mississippi in the Deep South is proud of its hospitality and of being the home of Blues music.
But one thing it is not proud of is being the fattest state in the union.
