Staying Fat for Sarah Byrnes is a story that was written by Chris Crutcher. This book was narrated in first person, by the protagonist Eric “Moby” Calhoune. His best friend is Sarah Byrnes, and they have been close since they were younger, due to their flaws. Eric is overweight and Sarah has burn scars covering her entire face. As the two grew older, Eric lost his weight when he joined the school competitive swim team. Meanwhile, Sarah Byrnes still remained as what her classmates called “ugly”. The two were each other’s best friends, and Eric even stayed fat for a whole year for her. Sarah Byrnes believed that if Eric became skinny, then he would have more friends, and eventually forget about her. With the help of others, it is found that Sarah Byrnes was abused by her father, Virgil Byrnes, when she was three, causing the burns on her face. She has been kept in the hospital for thinking about committing suicide for the entirety of the story. Sarah is not talking to anybody, even her best friend, and Eric knows he has to find a way to make her speak.

My father has said he has spoken to you about the issue already, so I know you are informed about my situation. I hope we can sit down and talk about it when I return to campus in the spring.

When I first put the empathy belly on I felt a whole bunch of weight hit my stomach and I had to catch my breath for a moment. Plus, the breast part of the thing was putting pressure against mine and it kind of hurt a little. For a second I was scared to move because I didn’t want to fall over. I was trying to imagine how much more it would be if we had to carry all the weight.

America's children are not getting enough exercise, and the health risks due to obesity are becoming epidemic in nature. Even First Lady Michelle Obama is supporting an initiative to help children become more active and to provide for exercise (at least 30-60 minutes per day) in all schools. Even limited amounts of exercise can have great health benefits. When humans exercise, the brain produces chemicals that help enhance mood, limit cravings for sugars, and contribute to healthier joints, muscles, the heart, and kidneys. In turn, this translates into more productive work time, the ability to sleep better, increase memory, and reduce dependence on medications. Children are so vulnerable to this health risk that if it continues, over 60% of graduating seniors will be clinically obese. Written by a medical journalist, the book is designed for the lay reader but has a number of documented scholarly sources.
