Produktbeschreibung

In war time it is a crime to hoard food, and fines and impris-onment have followed the exposé of such practices. Yet there are hundreds of thousands of individuals all over America who are hoarding food, and that one of the most precious of all foods! They have vast amounts of this valuable commodity stored away in their own anatomy.    Now fat individuals have always been considered a joke, but you are a joke no longer. Instead of being looked upon with friendly tolerance and amusement, you are now viewed with dis-trust, suspicion, and even aversion! How dare you hoard fat when our nation needs it? You don't dare to any longer. You never wanted to be fat anyway, but you did not know how to re-duce, and it is proverbial how little you eat. Why, there is Mrs. Natty B. Slymm, who is beautifully thin, and she eats twice as much as you do, and does not gain an ounce. You know posi-tively that eating has nothing to do with it, for one time you diet-ed, didn't eat a thing but what the doctor ordered, besides your regular meals, and you actually gained.    You are in despair about being anything but fat, and-! how you hate it. But cheer up. I will save you; yea, even as I have saved myself and many, many others, so will I save you. 

Spirituality vs. Materiality  A Long, Long Battle
