Heinz Asthoff was struck with an incurable hunger following the death of his wife 22 years ago.
His incredible ability to eat endlessy without getting fat has been the subject of scientific studies and a TV programme in his homeland.
On any given day he will eat a 2.2lb chunk of leberkase meat loaf, 5lb of potatoes, a dozen eggs, a pint of mayonnaise, pizzas, chips and sometimes as many as 20 meat patties.
He has even been advised by his doctors not to give up his 40-a-day smoking habit because he would eat more.
The trouble is that Heinz, 68, from Offenbach, is spending more on food than he has pension money. "Something has to give," he said. I can't eat out anymore. Last time I went to a pub I ordered a potato pancake and ended up eating 100 of them. I can't afford it."
