Eat Fat
by Richard Klein
Picador, pounds 15.99
WIDER STILL and wider, shall our bounds be set. So it seems;
while famine rages at the margins, the people at the snug centre of
the developed world increase each year in girth. Richard Klein,
author of Cigarettes Are Sublime, has set out to comfort-feed those
fatties who feel guilty.
The appetiser here is a portion of voluminous and slightly
sickening acknowledgments. Then comes a preface, which the author
perversely exhorts us to save till last - as if it were some
gratifying savoury, like a devil-on-horseback. As most readers are
human - or at least aspire to be - we wolf it down at once. It's
curiously insubstantial. Where's the beef?
Wait ...
