Around the home of Culver's, walleye is considered the premium fish fry offering.
Cod and perch are "okay".

Having grown up on Lake Erie, I have eaten hundreds of pounds of Lake Perch and Walleye. I love them both but prefer Perch.

There is a restaurant that's been here locally for about 80 years and they used to sell nothing but deep fried perch. When I was in high school we would go there and you could get a pound of perch for like 99 cents and I would also get a pound of breaded deep fried mushrooms. This is over 60 years ago and the line would always be out the door. It was just on the outskirts of the ghetto section in town and today it's smack dab in the middle of that section so I wouldn't dare go there. But that perch was melt in your mouth good. It was the only kind of fried fish they sold because it's all anybody wanted.
There was a restaurant in a small town near me from the 1930s till about 2010 and all they sold was pulled pork, mashed potatoes and gravy and giant blueberry muffins the size of a softball. That was the entire menu. They were open Thursday Friday Saturday and Sunday and summer and winter there was a 45 minute wait to get in. You don't see that anymore restaurants serving just one or two main items but doing it really well and giving you a lot of food. The pulled pork and mashed potatoes and gravy came on a platter and you couldn't eat the entire serving you had to take it home.

Very interesting. My cousin grew up literally on the shore of Lake Michigan (back yard boat dock close); he also prefers perch.
A few hours inland, taste seems to differ.

3 day suspension for a personal insult. See bolded text above, for which I added the bolding. Please remember that making insulting comments about the character, temperament or behavior of other forum members is against the forum rules.
"According to the American Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, morbidly obese individuals should consume 22 calories for every kilogram they weigh. At 300lbs (136kg), [a person] needs about 2,992 calories daily based on the recommendation."
I saw a video on Reddit of a morbidly obese person who couldn't get out of bed he was so big. His meal was clearly being shown as something disgustingly monstrous in amount of calories... but I could tell he was being put under care by dieticians, by the way they were dressed. I didn't finish the video since they weren't explaining this, the poster just wanted to show something revolting. The dieticians were well on their way to maybe 4-5000 calories when I stopped watching
I take it you would endanger someone like that on 2500 calories, say

"22 calories for every kilogram they weigh" is exactly 10 calories for every pound they weigh, which sounds like a very round number. I doubt this is linear over a wide range.
So if a patient weighing 1,100 pounds is admitted to a hospital because of gross obesity, I imagine they are going to put him on intravenous feed and perhaps feed him some fibrous solid food. I doubt thy are going to have him eat 11,000 calories a day of hospital food, lol.
Many people advocate fasting for 24-36 hours (zero calories per day) every 7 -14 days. Does this endanger anyone?
At least chanko-nabe is reasonably healthy.
Fasting isn't for everyone, but I seem to feel a lot better after a fast day. My doctors insist I need daily intake.

It sure would endanger him, and specifically because he is bedridden. That means his muscles are already trashed, his bones have released calcium which may be overrepresented in the arteries, and the catabolism caused by extreme (to him) dieting will surely put him into heart failure.
It's a terrible state to get in to and it's just as bad getting out of it. Evolution has no answer for it because once an animal becomes immobilized it is permanently out of the gene pool in a day or so in the wild. Better to never let it happen to begin with. Strive to die exercising and be found dead by a jogger! It won't hurt, you don't feel pain in a fight. That's what "rage, rage against the dying of the light" was all about.
