This fat power zine aims to dispel the stigma surrounding being "overweight." In addition to editor Wann's writings, multiple people share short essays about their weight issues, including a diatribe against Covert Bailey and dealing with familial pressure to lose weight. There are also contributed poems about being fat. The issue features an article discussing weight discrimination in the workplace and an interview with Daniel Pinkwater, host of NPR's All Things Considered, about his weight and his novel, The Afterlife Diet.
