Anyone who has gone to see Pixar’s new movie, Cars, was treated to a trailer for Ratatouille. It’s a movie about a rat with a taste for good food.

What bothers me is this rat, who is obsessed with good food to the point that he is willing to risk his life is thin. Quite frankly, I haven’t found this to be true. His fat friend who doesn’t care what he eats gives him advice.

“You know if you can sort of muscle your way past the gag reflex all kinds of food possibilities open up.”

Of course, all my friends who don’t really care what they eat tend to be thin and forget to eat all the time. Why can’t I have that problem?

Does the world really need a tale about a food obsessed rat? Watching this trailer made the hackles on my back raise and I don’t really know why.
