I got the joke. It was funny. I just couldn't miss the opportunity to bring Taft in.

They say this cat Taft was a fat mother...
(Shut your mouth)
I'm just talkin' 'bout Taft

Trump is the first fat president? You must have forgotten about Taft, a president so round that he had to get bathtubs custom made to fit him.

I was always fascinated by fat people ever since I was a little kid. Not sure why, but it goes back as far as I can remember. Once I entered puberty, it turned into sexual attraction. This was the late 90s and SSBBWs were rare to see in public. The internet was new enough that I had no idea that there would be porn or pictures of fat people online. Even if I did, we had a single family computer in the living room and a dial-up 56k modem, so it just wasn't an option anyway, and if I wanted to look at fat women, I had to get creative.

My parents had an art book with a bunch of classic paintings, a few of which featured nudes. I would take a piece of paper and trace over the image, and alter it to make them fatter. Since I was in control of how fat they were, my curiosity pushed me to see what they'd look like at bigger and bigger sizes, over time trying to find the upper limit of fatness, until they were a massive immobile blob. It was a pretty short and obvious leap to go from making a drawing fatter to fantasizing about making real women fatter. So that's how I became a feeder at the age of like 12, without even using the internet.

I miss Flash. Watching Strong Bad every week, playing games on the school library computers, browsing Newgrounds and seeing everything from edgelord shitposts to literal art. There was so much to explore. It's technically still possible to experience most of that with Flashpoint and Ruffle, but it's just a time capsule. Steve Jobs killed it, the internet moved on, and now we have Tiktok instead (unfortunately).

To be fair, I checked out FatGTP's profile on here and DeviantArt, and she doesn't have any stories at all, AI generated or otherwise. So challenging her to write something is a bit irrelevent since writing seems like it's outside her wheelhouse.

Should I even bother voicing an opinion on the actual topic at this point, or is the thread just cooked?

I have a few odd ones. A turn on for me is people dressing lazy in public. Things like no makeup, unbrushed hair, pajama bottoms, a plain tanktop with no bra, crocs or slippers, even sweatpants with pet hair on it. Anything that says "I just rolled out of bed and now I'm here". I think it ties into my slob kink somehow. It shows that they are both completely lazy, and don't care about what anyone else thinks of them. Both are good qualities in a feedee.

Another one is skin blemishes. Cellulite and stretch marks are obvious, plus the way fat people's inner thighs get darker skin. but that's just the beginning. Skin tags, moles, freckles, scars, birthmarks, acne, warts, and more. Anything natural that your skin can do to decorate itself. It's not like a huge turn-on on its own, but it creates visual interest that really adds to their beauty in ways that tattoos or piercings don't for me.

Just put me in a wheelchair, get me on a plane
Hurry, hurry, hurry before I go insane
I can't control my fingers, I can't control my brain

IT STILL WORKS

The upshot of this is that let's say you have a budget of $18 for a snack. If you spend it all on cookies, you'd get a total of 900 calories. But if you spend it on the crackers instead, you'd get 9,600 calories and a much better stuffing for the same money.

I don't expect people to be complete morons who would switch their entire diet to be nothing but cooking oil or something. Anyone who would do that is already a Darwin Award waiting to happen.

I already pointed out pasta as the best gaining food despite lard and other ingredients having higher CPD, specifically because it makes an actual meal. I even mentioned that the rice would take ages to get through because there aren't a lot of dishes that are a majority rice. The implication is that people would be using this to make real food with.

This is intended for people who have a specific idea in their head about the correct foods for gaining (fast food, mass gainer, etc.), and show them there is a better way to get results that fits their budget. That's it.

But by far, out of everything I checked, the absolute winner was dry rice with an enormous 2424 CPD. While that's truly impressive, there's not a lot of rice dishes that are like 90% rice, so it will probably take you a long time to work through it.

For my money, pasta is really the king of cheap calories since it's easier to go for big stuffings. Dry spaghetti was 1600 CPD. Boxed macaroni and cheese was 1260. Alfredo sauce was 217 CPD, but I don't want to do the extra math of trying to add that together with something.

Soda is obviously going to be the sugary drink of choice, with root beer coming in at 1080 CPD. Chocolate milk didn't come close, being only 600 CPD.

For shits and giggles, I decided to look up iceberg lettuce, and it's only 52 CPD for a head, which seems like the least efficient food for getting fat, at least until I looked at royal beluga caviar. It's 0.05 CPD.

So what do you think about all this? And are there any other foods you're curious about?
