This blistering SF social satire explores America's cruel, paradoxical dichotomy: desperately dieting to fit an impossible ideal and super-sizing every portion. In the near future, evangelist Earl Sharpnack has thrown away all organized religion in favor of making the human body a temple. Keeping perfectly fit is the only form of worship. Anorexics are force-fed, while the obese are either made to reduce or recruited as fat porn performers. Gyms and plastic surgery centers adorn every strip mall, right next to the fast-food joints advertising competitive eating contests. But beneath these twin cults of beauty and overindulgence lies something corrupt and rotten. Betz and Danny, twins looking for their vanished, anorexic sister Annie; Jeremy, an overweight businessman trapped inside an internment camp masquerading as a weight-loss spa; and Annie and her heavy friend Kelly are about to discover the big fat secrets lurking at the heart of Reverend Earl's empire.
