"Sure." Said Jake. "I could use a drink after the ride here." The bar was closeby, a place called 'the Big Hen'. It had a few screens showing sports.
"So, what's the story, Samantha? Why're so many people who live here, well, getting bigger?" You sip a cola, since you don't drink. She has a Sprite.
"Well, first the lumberyard went out of business. So most people round here lost their jobs. It's not a real large town and that was the reason there was a town built here in the first place. So people moved away looking for jobs elsewhere. In an attempt to get people to rejuvenate the town, they offered businesses a grant to set up here. So in moved the Fatty Johnson restaurant company and they set up their farms here. They also set up three separate restaurants in the town, which are pretty much the only places to eat left in town. The others had already packed up and left. And since their employees get mega-discounts whenever they pay for food, almost everybody who was still here ate there. In time, they just started getting fatter."
You look at her slim waist, full breasts and absolute lack of a double chin. No Fatty Johnson's for her then. "So, um, why aren't you..."
"Fat? Well, I don't work for Fatty Johnson, so I don't get the discount, and I don't eat there very often. But it is quite strange."
"What? That you haven't got fat?" You ask, slightly confused.
