Every year, Neopia grows … literally. Not only is our population increasing, the size of our pets are increasing. In 2004, over 64% of adult neopets were overweight, over 30% were obese, and 5% were at the point of no return. Being obese is defined as being 25% or more overweight based on height. The poor pets who suffer from obesity have to endure social displeasures on a daily basis such as constant insecurity and a drastically increased financial burden to themselves and the general public due to health issues related to obesity. Of course it is easy to point the blame at the victims of obesity, but in reality, a number of these unfortunate pets are victims of genetic obesity, inherited by ancestors rather than developed by a large consumption of groceries. No matter how much a pet weighs, he/she is affected by obesity in one way or another. If we separate those who are obese and allow them to live in a specific area of Neopia, it will create an opportunity to eliminate obesity and improve the overall health of this nation.

The little Aisha looked at her and asked. “Like what?” “Well she could get zapped by the ray and turn into…… “What turn into what?” the little interrupted. The owner gave her a quick glance and continued. “Well she could turn into….soot.” Akasha499 looked at her for a while and looked down at her petpet. “I love my petpet a lot though, I hope it doesn’t happen.” Her petpet looked up at her and cooed gently. “Well if anything does happen like that, then you have to go to the Soot Hole.” Akasha499 looked at her owner and then at her petpet. “I’ll be fine, I know where it is.” Maggie jumped off Akasha499’s lap and bounced away. “Now be back before sunset.” the owner said gently. “Oh and before you leave get clothes on.” Akasha grinned and walked away to her room. “I hope little Maggie doesn’t turn into soot or it will break Akasha’s heart.” The owner walked away to make a little picnic for them. Joint of Ham and a Bottle of Kau milk, Akasha’s and Maggie’s favorite food.

Chapter 1: Dung — This (*stuff*) never gets old.
Chapter 2: Asparagus — More of the same (just re-read Chapter 1).
Chapter 3: Snot — The other green meat.
Chapter 4: Invisible — Bet you didn’t see that one coming.
Chapter 5: Day 13 — The calendar giveth, the Pant Devil taketh away.
