re sf stories and weight.
I too cannot think of any literature, but the British comic 2000AD ran
a Judge Dredd sequence about people so large they needed belly
wheels. In a post-nuclear holocaust world they were persecuted until
they turned to staging eating contests at which "thins" were
spectators. What they ate was junk - old cars and and such.
For those of you who only know Judge Dredd through the appalling
film, 2000AD was and is a very subversive comic. JD was a part of
this subversion.
