The anti-fat campaign is going mer-
rily along. But it matters very little
to some people whether they are lean
or fat. According to Shakespeare,
however, Caesar had a liking for fat
men. He said
Let me have men about me that are
fat
Sleek headed men, and such as sleep o.
nights.
Good Cassius has lean and hungry
look;
He thinks too much. Such men are
dangerous.
Would he were fatter! But fear him
not
Yet if my name were liable to fear,
/ do not know the man / should avoid
So soon as that spare Cassius."
If we take the wisdom of Caesar to
heart, we shall all grow fat and "sleep
well O. nights"
