You think I eat a lot now? That's nothing. Tune in December 31st, when I will stream a live webcast of my last meal. I can't take another year in this fat suit, but I can end this year with a bang. If you can stomach it, you're invited to watch...as I eat myself to death.
- Butter
"Only a guy with an ass as fat as yours could eat all that in one sitting."
"This guy is full of shit. You can't eat yourself to death."
"You're so stupid for trying this. I hope you do die-"
Look, I get it. It sucks to be next to the fat guy on the plane. Maybe he's taking up too much of your armrest or crowding you into the window, but trust me, nobody's more uncomfortable than that guy, having to squish into that tiny seat and knowing nobody wants to sit next to him.
2. I cannot imagine that Erin Jade Lange has ever been fat, known a fat person, or even seen a person who actually weighed 423 pounds.
3. The writing was flat, boring, and sloppy. Sometimes getting through a single sentence was tedious agony.
4. This book doesn't hate fat people, but it does think the world would be a better place if we all went to a fat institute and withered ourselves away.
5. Butter's your typical internet Nice Guy. He IS creepy and Anna's incredibly valid points about his behavior are not adequately acknowledged.
It was just... very not good.
