At a concert given by Bart and Lisa to perform Springfield's new anthem Homer has such trouble rising from his seat due to his weight that he injures several people. Marge sends him to a dieting club but instead he finds himself joining Wide Pride, a group that celebrates being large and which he totally embraces - until its leader has a fatal accident.

This episode is mostly about being overweight and how hard it can be to get rid of the extra weight. Homer joins a group of overweight, but unlike what Marge suspect, it's not a group for losing weight...
Being a bit on the chubby side myself I could relate a lot to this episode and it touches upon the subject in a nice way without making the entire episode dull nor necessarily making obese people look lazy and stupid.
This was a great improvement from previous episode "The Musk Who Fell to Earth" who was in my opinion the worst episode in the history of the Simpsons.
