| Description | "An obese chef has been told he is too fat to live in New Zealand, even though he has lost 66lb since moving there six years ago.
Albert Buitenhuis, who weighs 20 stone six pounds, was told that it may place demands on the New Zealand health services.
He and his wife Marthie are now facing deportation from their Christchurch home and are living with his sister in Auckland as they fight the decision.
New Zealand is the third most obese nation in the developed world, coming behind the US and Mexico.
Albert is five feet ten inches tall and has a body mass index of 40, making him clinically obese.
But, he weighed 25 stone two pounds when he arrived in New Zealand as he had quit smoking." |
