Zivan reviewed The Fatness by Mark A. Rayner
This is a satire about fat shaming as policy. About coercion as a behavior modifying method. About the prison system. It takes aim both at the public and private sectors. But most of all it takes aim at the notion that fat people are less healthy and thin
4 stars
This is a satire about fat shaming as policy. About coercion as a behavior modifying method. About the prison system. It takes aim both at the public and private sectors. But most of all it takes aim at the notion that fat people are less healthy and thin people shouldn't pay for their healthcare.
It is the story of one couple's struggle against a rigged system.
As a satire about obesity there are allot of landmines here. But the factoids about wait loss science help keep the reader grounded and make sure no one thinks the author endorses any of the methods used by the Calorie Reduction Centers.
