"Ah, but I just want to note Successor. Most areas do not even have a McDonald's, so it's more of an economic problem than it is about health. I mean, look at Mauritius; a quarter of their people are obese. Compared to my usual meals, the food is exceptionally tasty."

While I may have been sedentary as a human, I was quite active as a Reaper. Every waking moment was spent fighting or making love, so my caloric needs should be intense. And even if it weren't, I wasn't even sure if Reapers' biology could get fat.
'Hmm. I wonder if Reapers gain weight? Does my hair even grow out? I mean we are technically dead and made up of souls. Isn't that why we no longer die of old age?'
