Mmm..mmm..mmmorbidly obese.

Today however, as the town embarks on a new era of runaway development in the area surrounding a Wal-Mart (and soon to be an even bigger Wal-Mart), a number of all-you-can-eat restaurants have sprouted up which have given Boink-Town its very own Buffet District-- an honor normally reserved for bigger, fatter towns across the country.

According to a number of residents, they love the one-stop trough variety provided by these establishments, and can’t remember how in the world they ever got by before the Buffet District came on the scene.

Boink-Town resident Larry Hagman (no relation), “I thank God everyday that we have the Buffet District. Before it’s arrival, I used to go to regular restaurants that make you order off of a menu like a sucker. Now I can go to any number of places that will let me give them seven or eight bucks in exchange for a feast that you used to only read about in fairy tales. I can go to a steak house for a beef fix, or go to one of the Chinese buffets to eat pizza or chicken nuggets…not to mention crab legs! Sometimes I have to pinch myself just to know that I’m not stranded in some wonderful dream.”

Although Boink-Town’s Buffet District is a huge hit with the elastic waistband set, health officials worry about the more long term effects of having such an area in town, citing increased lethargy, obesity and heart disease as possible concerns.

Other foreseen problems stemming from the Buffet District come from engineers who design Boink-Town's roads as well as those who handle the city’s waste management.

According to these professionals, they worry that as the Buffet District continues to plump up the population, the increased girth of those traversing roads to get to the District will take a toll on the pavement which in turn will lead to more maintenance work.

On the waste management side of things, the concern is that as citizens continue to gorge themselves on the greasy, heavy-hitting foods found on these buffets, the volume of human waste will rise in direct proportion-- leaving Boink-Town’s sewer system overly strained to the point of possibly shutting down.

Despite the apparent risks of frequenting the Buffet District, scores of residents continue to joyously saddle up to the trough to fill not only their stomachs, but also to fulfill their dreams.
