A unique and satirical crusade
Obese. Fat. Overweight, they all mean the same thing, and this story by Rayner
brings the overweight into a new and large light. People being forced into joining Calorie Reduction Centre (CRC). If you're fat, that's where you go. Rayner brings humor and lightness into this condition where people are judge by what they weigh and how much or what they eat. And then, in between these chapters of the story, there are these "facts" about being overweight and once in a while, a quote brings it all back. "“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” ~Lao-tzu, The Way of Lao Tzu". Keelan is a great character, humorous, sarcastic and the main character who is just over that overweight mark. My favorite part is when he argues with a very skinny Brittany, about her being too thin and unhealthy.
