This story is about a big-time foodie couple, in a very cozy marriage, that decides to make some changes and the husband goes on a much needed diet.
Beneath this light comedy, the novel offers a telling commentary on our societies obesession with food and how it dominates our lives.
A great book club read with a discussion guide at the end of the book.

Harry loves to cook. Big gourmet meals - high calorie, high cholesterol, high sugar and highly tasty meals. Harry also loves to eat the meals he cooks. Which is fine until he receives a digital scale which talks. The scale not only talks but gets downright insulting when it thinks you weigh more than you should. And Harry's doctor confirms the scales opinion. Harry has to lose weight.So his wife Francine takes over the cooking. And Harry loses weight. Then Harry joins a health club and before long a new improved Harry never seems to be home. Is he having an affair? Francine just doesn't know what to do with this new Harry.
