Unmarked spoilers
- With all the scorn and sneers at his weight, Grenville's drily smouldering inner indignation is a wholesome riposte to fat-bashing.
- Jemma's informative refute of dubious, scaremongering health warnings; with specific nod to the erosion of epidemiology standards.
- Observations that excess weight can actually improve life expectancy, and that cholesterol can't actually enter the bloodstream.
- When the Well Farm celebrity volunteers are led on a deliberately exhausting walk to their quarters, and are unexpectedly assigned to shared dorms, Grenville makes a stand, and is quickly appeased.
- Jeremy's humbled resolve to use his promotion to make what improvements he can to hospital conditions. His happening upon Hayleigh's private ward, seeing her Jason Black posters, and arranging a surprise visit from the aforementioned - even if he turns out to be a crass, loutish, hedonistic narcissist - is in itself a wonderful gesture.
- After a revolting encounter with Big Boys Cry heartthrob Jason Black, Hayleigh, having spent the book horrified at the very thought of eating, manages to face a plate of chicken nuggets. Her mother quietly weeps with relief.
- Grenville's helpless rage against abuse and administrative incompetence eventually pays off: erroneously told his Well Farm credits card isn't able to afford his breakfast, Grenville, as later noted by a sneering tabloid piece, douses the kitchen staff in lukewarm oatmeal, steals a tractor, and ploughs into a field an obscene word of protest. This culminates in him getting his own cookery show: Roberts' Rampages.
