Foodie is a bit late in viewing Dodgeball, an amusing if predictable flick about a rivalry between neighborhood workout joints that comes to a head in a major dodgeball tournament. Yes, the game we all played with pink rubber balls on rainy days in what used to be called "gym," is elevated to almost pro status in this movie. Anyway, at the end, the repugnant narcissistic fitness freak character played by Ben Stiller in his usual crazed style has retrogressed from lean machine to fat guy, stuffing himself with snack foods. Stiller in a fat suit is memorable indeed, wallowing, nay billowing in his fatitude. ( Earlier in the flick we see Stiller teasing/testing himself with pizza and other dietary no-no's.)
Foodie confesses she is hot to try on a fat suit but isn't sure she could bear the accompanying fat face....oi vey.
And , in case you missed it, a new study indicates that diet sodas make you fatter. Seems that by not receiving the satisfaction of real sugar in the drink, the dieter eats/drinks more to achieve satiety.
