Learn How FACEBOOK Loves FAT People!

A Brewster Smythe
When most fat people realize they need to lose weight they have probably already been down the diet road one too many times. They have probably tried the cabbage diet, the soup diet, and the water diet.

They have probably even walked around the block a time or two.

But, how many of us fatties would have thought to go to Facebook?

That´s right, you heard me- FACEBOOK.

Like a lot of people who like to keep up with my friends and family online I am a member of Facebook. And, to be honest, I love it! It´s fun- all the information is in one place and they have all kinds of cool games.

I never thought I would turn to FACEBOOK for my weight loss answers -ever. I had reserved that place for hard workouts at the YMCA and eating eggbeaters- with walnut desserts.

Now, I am sure many of us want to lose weight, but don´t really know if we are really fat or not. Or we may not know what kind of fat we are.

A cool guy by the name of Matthew Steffen has solved that problem.

He created " How Fat Are You?" -a new quiz on Facebook. Now, you can find out if you are chunky, obese or just plain fat all at your leisure, in your pajamas, right in front of your laptop- and no one needs to see you.

Since, Steffen created "how fat are you?´ his quiz has become the premier Facebook fat quiz with over 306,926 monthly active users.


Of course, when one person creates a great thing, there is always some other creative who comes along to do the same thing- only maybe better, or smarter, or even smugger.

That´s where Cortive Creations, LLC comes in. They have also created a ´how fat are you?" quiz for Facebook complete with what they term ´an exhaustive quiz´ and advice about whether or not you should jump on a treadmill or not.

They have 1,989 monthly active users. I believe these users are too exhausted to continue taking this quiz and like Steffen´s better.

But, never fear, there are more ´how fat are you?" quizzes on Facebook. All with substantial monthly users and all professing to help us fatties find out if we are really fat or not, if we are underweight, normal weight, overweight, obese, chunky, skinny or, like I like to say- just plain fat.

Body shape, it is the thing, isn´t it? Now, I have been fat for a long time. I have made a million excuses. I hate my treadmill -in fact he is now at the bottom of my favorite landfill.

I love Wendy´s Double Cheeseburgers and fries, and Micky Dees, and Pizza Hut. Lucky for me the city I live in makes one of these places of sin available at every corner.

Facebook is making their contribution to support all of us fatties of the world. I think the least we can do is thank them.
