Samantha Arca,
Systems Analyst
"Just as long as they don't go overboard and deplete Hollywood's supply of cute little fat kids."

Timothy Kendall,
Textile Designer
"Kids are craftier than you think. The second you turn your back, they'll find some new way to get fat."

Stephen Norton,
Highway Engineer
"Yeah, that almost happened to us, but we just lured the fat kids out of town on Census Day."
