Looking for quick fixes

You don't just wake up one day and, voila, you are fat. No. You grow yourself fat. Bit by bit. Day by day. That's why I'm amazed that so many people expect a quick-fix. The other day, I saw an ad for a girdle that makes obese women slimmer. Rather than putting in the time to lose weight and get healthy, fatties would rather slip on a piece of clothing that slims them. (Hence, the popularity of "Spanks.")

Where does all that fat go? It's smushed and pushed, and it has to pop out somewhere. That's just gross.

If there's a silver lining to those girdles, it's that people are employed making them. And someone's getting rich.
