Waaaay back in the late 1960's there was a fascinating article, in Avant Garde magazine, about the emergence of an "Obese Subculture", which was loosely defined as a set of people who enjoy being hugely fat and even enhancing that fat through purposeful overeating. This was really before the whole "feeder/feedee and gainer/encourager" thing happened, which makes it doubly interesting...wish I still had a copy of it! LOL The idea though, is...are WE that obese subculture? How has this whole experience evolved over the last 35 years? It really does stretch back at least that far. By the time I wrote my article "The Disciples of Flesh" for Apocalypse Culture, back in the mid-80's, there was already a burgeoning zamisdat of really underground magazines, mostly xeroxed or hand done and a network of folks gaining weight, linked by telephone or hushed whispers down dark alleys. Food for thought, eh! :eat2: :eat1:
