>>101096289I've watched pretty much every episode of My 600-Lb Life, so I'm well aware of everything you're talkin about. Children's books are full of fantastical imagery, though. That means I can take what I like, leave what I don't, and present that image. Is it the reality? No, but it ain't gotta. Can it still teach a lesson? Sure, think about how often kids respond to fictional characters.
I'm changin my lesson, too. Instead of some bullshit about self-acceptance, it'd be about the fun of exercise. Fatty hates it, meets a good lookin trainer that helps them become interested and turns em on to workin out. Then they both go out for ice cream. The lesson is that everyone should exercise, and not because of what others think, but because it's a fun rush.
