Here's the Fat Nat quote:
"I would just say GO for it...cause the fat thing, in my experience... I've never known anybody to successfully suppress their interest in fat forever. Eventually everybody caves. I think. And it's so much better to just be yourself. And do what you actually want to do. And if you want to get fat--there are difficulties, like finding clothes or whatever--but just do it! If it's what you're into it's such a great thing to do. And I can't REALLY see a reason not to do it. You know, if you can afford the food, afford the clothes...and you're thick-skinned enough to rebut comments from family members or whatever that's all you have to worry about.
"So just go for it. Getting fat is an amazing thing."

Yeah, they have a public weigh-in and weigh-out. One guy gained 18 lbs in a week!

but that doesn't mean you can't go to the gainer house if you're straight.
Thanks for clearing that up. It does seem to be limited to male gainers though. That's a pretty serious limitation in my book!
You just have to make sure your boundaries are set, I guess.
Apparently they have a no-sex rule (though belly-rubs and cuddling are allowed).

It does seem to be a real thing: Fat Nat tells the story:

There's one guy, TipTheScales, who finances the whole thing. I'm not clear if eveyone can go for free, but some can. Gainers typically go for a week and pig out the whole time.
Maybe there'll be a heterosexual one someday!

what would YOU say if you saw me waddling around at a buffet, drfeeder?

I think numbers are more interesting on-line than in person.

While strangers may not say anything, the looks say it all! It's fun to watch a clerk glance at your gut as you toss a family size bag of chips, ranch dip, and ice cream onto the counter, and inform her that'll be all for today.
totally know this feeling!!! when i first mustered up the courage to go to the buffet in a really tight tanktop with my tummy hanging out, i got a LOT of stares hehe, and the waitress looked so judgmental when she said "do you want another plate...?" and i was like "YES!". lol. it feels good!!! that was at about 240, i'd love to go now at 255

Not sure about the legality of denying her services she's paid for, but it's certainly bad business.
And I bet she'd win if she took it to small claims court.
