Excess Body Weight

So government is not a necessary evil but a necessary good.”
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)

“American Archangel you are going—
your body as big as a moving van—
the houses, the highways are turning you in.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

“A false balance is abomination to the Lord: but a just weight is his delight.”
—Bible: Hebrew Proverbs 11:1.
