“The obsession with becoming slimmer and slimmer is an obsession with becoming an image, and therefore transparent, an obsession with the disembodied ideality which is that of film stars. Disembodiment is the price paid for immortality, extreme slimness being the only way to pass through death.” -Jean Baudrillard, Fragments

Death as the horizon of being, is shown to be in peril by Baudrillard’s fragment about thinness. By sneaking it’s emaciated flock past death, late capitalism eradicates any semblance of individuality. Our only possible challenge to this process is to become grotesquely obese. For only great bulk can slow the drag to disembodiment and only a repulsive appearance can drive away the image makers.

So eat. And when you are full, eat more. Don’t listen to the diet gurus. And for god’s sake don’t listen to your doctor- he’s trying to make you transparent.

“Forty is a difficult age at which to stay awake, he decided. At twenty or at sixty the body knows what it is about, but forty is an adolescence where one sleeps to grow up or stay young.”
