The Fat Guy's Manifatso: Celebrating Men of Substance

The Fat Guy's Manifatso: Celebrating Men of Substance

Steven A. Shaw
0/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
Steven A. Shaw is a fat guy. And he's not alone. More than 20 percent of American men are overweight, and almost all of them are hounded by friends, relatives, doctors, and the media into trying to shed their excess pounds. But, when you get down to it, is there really anything wrong with being fat? Emphatically no-and Shaw tells us why.

Part satire, part social criticism, Fat Guys Kick Ass takes on the country's current war against fat, from the fitness craze and fad diets to the pseudo-science behind the alleged obesity epidemic. Based on his hilarious, frank, and illuminating essays for Salon and eGullet.org, Shaw, a.k.a. "The Fat Guy," gives readers the skinny on fatty foods, pokes holes through people's irrational fear of food, and tips the scales in favor of a guilt-free meal.

Filled with gut-busting sidebars, eye-popping statistics, and tongue-in-cheek examples of how fat guys have the edge over skinny guys , Shaw shows how to embrace your inner fatso, and lays waste to our misconceptions about weight, health, and life. This is the Manifatso every fat man has been waiting for.
