  In The Miracle Diet, Carol Rumens debates weighty issues in low fat, high humor with cartoonist Viv Quillen. However, while the tone is light, the topic is serious. Fat, quite frankly, is a problem we're all faced with: women bear the brunt of anxieties about food and stereotypes about appearances, but men and children are also affected with the importance of keeping trim and slim.On all sides the individual is urged to eat, drink, and eat and drink some more. Food is fuel and fantasy, desire and dread. We dream of the perfect shape and sometimes we achieve it. Then, more often than not, we lose it. Change is inevitable and constant.The Miracle Diet delights as well as provokes. Though not all the messages are palatable, the wit is tangy and the writing is sure, accomplished, and tasty.
