In an attempt to get into the GuinnessBookOfWorldRecords, Homer arranges the town to get into a massive human pyramid but fails when they form a giant human ball. After rolling onto a weight station, Springfield gains the record for "World's Fattest Town". Marge becomes worried that the town is condemning all their lives to an existence of obesity and poor health and decides to act out against the Motherloving Corporation, headed by Garth Motherloving (Creator/BenStiller), which provides most of the town's sugary, unhealthy foods. Inducing what is known as "Marge's Law", all sugary foods are banned from sale much to the general populace's contempt.
