The Hungry Games
Yesterday, the star of The Hunger Games (Miss Lawrence) said that it should be illegal to use the word 'fat' in public about another person.
I'm not saying that she doesn't have a point but such an open statement ties in with something I've been working on.
It's a long-term project of mine, a serious-minded dystopian thriller, provisionally-titled Fatworld, and this quote is definitely going to appear in my preface because it really signposts the way western culture is heading. By 2030, I can see coffee going the way of cigarettes and any mention of a person's weight causing scandal and possible jail-time. Look at how the views stopped for this blog as soon as I included a reference about weight. We might be in denial but it's arguably the major cultural change of our times.
