A high-calorie diet combined with life in the cell block - almost around the clock in some cases - is making detainees at Guantanamo Bay fat.

Meals totaling a whopping 4,200 calories per day are brought to their cells, well above the 2,000 to 3,000 calories recommended for weight maintenance by U.S. government dietary guidelines. And some inmates are eating everything on the menu.

One detainee has almost doubled in weight, to 410 pounds, said Navy Cmdr. Robert Durand, spokesman for the detention facilities at Guantanamo, a U.S. Navy station in southeast Cuba.

Human rights groups attribute the weight gain to lack of exercise. They cite accounts of released detainees who complained they were allowed to exercise fewer than three times a week outside their small cells.

But Durand said detainees are simply served a wide variety of food and are expected to choose what appeals to them.

Yes we are. The human rights group need to get lost, they are always whining about something.

OMA! How could you asked such a thing? you have no idea that anyone there is guilty of anything yet being detained and that to me is not fair treatment and your only concern is what they eat and how much they eat! shame on you!
this is a serious situation for the detained and there nerves would sure to be damaged you see this is first class terrorism for them as slavery was to african in usa and how rape and robbery was to the Indians so you had better just check all of your mistreatment there in usa before you judge others anywhere in the world
