It's a commonly held belief that people do not want to be fat.
After all, people go to terrible trouble to not be fat. We go to gyms, try all manner of absurd diets, get surgeries, take drugs that someone sells on late-night TV, and pretty much any goofball thing some celebrity rec- ommends.
But we don't often talk about how to get fat, you know, in case you need to do so in a rela- tive hurry. I'm sure everyone has some notion of how to do this, like eating McDonald's all day or some such, but I have done diligent research, and I'll get you fuckers fat as fast as possible.
of keto and paleo diets, which are mostly meats and fats, we know that fats are not the enemy, unlike the "everything must have a low-fat version" mantra of the '80s and '90s. Here are some things that will really help you lay on the blubber.
Diet

Here's where we start getting weird. This is a pastry made in India, so you might have trou- ble sourcing it unless you have a really kick- ass Indian joint near you. It is a dough made

Trust me, they found a way. Mashed potatoes, finely blended with Tomme de Laguiole (which is dense cheese curds) and cantal (a hard cheese), sometimes mozzarella, and a fuckpile of butter and gar- lic, traditionally served in a bread bowl.

Store-Bought Cakes
Yep, those ones you get at the grocery store with the really terrible icing. They have every- thing you want: processed sugars, palm oil, corn syrup, and nothing but pure carbs.
