Thanks to Fat?So!, the next time someone asks me "Should you be eating that?" I'm going to pause, look at them knowingly, and with a wink and a nod, say "I was, but I think you need it more than me."

Read about the mysterious disease that has started attacking fat people who become famous, get tips on personal trainers, find out why flirting is like any other martial art. And not only can you learn snappy comebacks for rude people, you also get handy pre-written blurbs for you to use on a date, when someone is rude, on a job interview, and in the doctor's office. Discover what Marilyn Wann did that the people at Weight Watchers found offensive, why she dies her hair hot pink (and why you should too!), and why people call her "Hank." See what practical advice Aunt Agony has for the woman whose jeans keep wearing out between the thighs. Learn the principle of "wash and chop," see pictures of naked fat bellies, arms, chins, butts; get bowling advice, medical references (it is more health threatening to be short than fat), and cool facts (fat women are twice as likely to enjoy sex and to reach orgasm). There's a recipe for Cottage Cheese Surprise, instructions for dealing with those annoying bright yellow "lose 30 pounds in 30 days" signs on the side of the road, a flabulous paper doll, trading cards and a list of 17 fun things to do with your bathroom scale that don't involve weighing yourself.

Fat!So? is powerfully enlightening. Thank you, Marilyn Wann, for your bold statement that fat people are cool. I propose that Crayola add a new color in honor of Wann--Fat!So? Pink!

This book is well written, intelligent, thoroughly researched from all angles, not simply one-sided (as all other reports on fat have been), humorous, respectful, non-preachy and down-to-earth.

It is a kind-hearted no-nonsense voice, revealing the hidden facts that the diet industry and insurance officials don't want you to know. Anyone who would say anything otherwise about this book is probably trying to sell you another "miracle" diet.

Even the contributor's credits page is a revealing window on society and how it has helped and hurt people whose souls are more beautiful then any fashion model could ever hope to be.

This book is a prime example of why books often make better friends than people.

I will be buying at least a half dozen more copies to give to friends -- both fat and thin!

Thank you Hank!

In the course of the mere two days it took me to read it, this amazing, empowering book helped me to realize that I need to stop feeling like a "defective" human being for being fat. Marilyn Wann uses humor and style to help nurture a sense of self-esteem much greater than anything you'd get from dropping twenty pounds... she reminds her readers that it's okay -- even encouraged! -- for them to love themselves exactly as they are. I strongly recommend this book to anyone with a weight issue, whether you weigh 135 or 335. Marilyn, you rule!
