A brilliant, in my opinion, blog post.

Even an individual at cross purposes with himself is certain to end in failure. Yet a hundred or even a thousand people can definitely attain their goal if they are of one mind. . . . Many raging fires are quenched by a single shower of rain, and many evil forces are vanquished by a single great truth.
–Major Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. 1, page 153
interview with Dr. Garry Egger, Professor of Health Sciences at Deakin University:
“My eyes light up talking about fat. I’m one of the few people that are fascinated by this whole area of fat - the evolution of it and the current biology of it. The fat cell is a lot cleverer than anybody’s ever thought. It’s got an amazing number of functions - sending messages out, getting them back. It’s the appestat, if you like, in the brain. It tells the brain we’ve had enough to eat, switches it off, and says, “I’m satisfied. I don’t need any more.” And that comes from the fat cell itself.
I’m sure Bodhisattva Hotei would understand this point of view. I decided to see if I could channel his wisdom in an imaginary focus-group interview, examining his attitude toward fat.
If fat had a favorite song, what would it be? All of Me.
