"Only then did I realize what a striking symbol of fat pride the bowling ball is. Bowling balls are beautiful, forceful, and open about their weight. They get to knock down the pinheads that get in their way. They have attitude to spare. (Plus, they get to roam around inside the mysterious innards of those ball-return machines. How cool!)" (90-91) I would love a video tour of pin return machine innards

"In one episode, they decide they're going to move the earth, and Brain realizes it's too heavy.
Brain: 'How are we going to get the earth to lose weight?'

"In real life, most survivors of this surgery do not keep off whatever weight they lose. Often, the only permanent results are grim, lifelong side-effects, including dangerous and hard-to-treat vitamin deficiencies. When someone comes at you with a knife, the healthy choice is to get away from them as quickly as possible." (41)

said, 'You're so fat! How did you do it?'" (24) from a survey asking "What do you like about being fat?"

"It's hard to diagnose "obesity." The number on the scale has very little to do with how healthy a person is. The diet specialists never seem to settle on a definition of obese (they just know it when they see it). Given the subjective nature of this term, you probably shouldn't put much weight on it as a diagnosis." (19) badumchh
