When it’s finally my turn, I order the two popcorns, and even though they’re both medium, I get “the look” from the cashier. When you’re fat, there are two variations of “the look” that you might get in food-related situations: The look you get when you order a small means, “You’re that big and you’re trying to watch what you eat?” The look you get when you order a large means, “You’re that big and you still can’t stop eating?” All of which is to say that if you’re fat, you’re never right.
