To fat ones the government says:

To the thin man It says: Drink all
you can. eat all you can and sleep

The thin man who wants to get fat
must eat and drink everything that he

important, he must drink before and

The experts say II Is principally
what a person drinks and not what he

Above all, a thin person who wants
