He was that bulimic character morbidly fearful of obesity and ate non-hydrogenated vegetable oil foods with little to no metabolic nourishment, who abused his old lady by forcing her to eat the same sustenance where she frequently snuck away to the nearest Burger King to eat that four patty, half pound of baconed, 16 sliced cheese burger with a family order of fries and a diet Coke.

He didn't do something, that was the point.

He didn't eat any fat.  Actually he coudn't eat any fat, possibly due to some kind of medical problem with his stomach.

Answer 13

JACK SPRATT

#1 An extraordinary lyrical prodigy and orator, Jackyron Newman (A.K.A. Jack Spratt), is poised to both captivate and elevate the art form of contemporary music as it's known today. Born and raised in the flavorful funnels of New Orleans, Louisiana, he looms as the undiscovered diamond of the southern hip-hop scene. Vastly exceeding a cursory glance at his baby face, this 27 year old pioneer writes passionately, eloquently, and melodically with an edgeful wit that certainly surpasses his years. Jack, however, simply views his style as, "the expressions of an honest man: the good, the bad, and the ugly." But on songs such as "Throw It Up," "Be Patient," and "The Passion of da Christ," Jack's sincere outlook, rhythmic flow, and clever wordplay seem to leave him destined to etch a mark in hip-hop history.

#2 Jack Spratt is the protagonist in a series of alternate history science fiction fantasy novels by Jasper Fforde. He is the same character from the English nursery rhyme. As revealed in The Big Over Easy, for example, he hates eating fat, and was once married to a woman who ate nothing else (hence, she died).

Spratt is an obvious satire on the general detective stereotype. Whereas famous detectives such as Sam Spade, Philip Marlowe and Sherlock Holmes have been portrayed as confident, successful, substance-abusing loners, Spratt does not have a substance abuse problem, and is happily married with five children. In addition, he is shown in the beginning of The Big Over Easy to be an experienced and accomplished police detective, but low on self-confidence, virtually incapable of securing convictions and never recognized for the ones he does make. The reason for this is that police funding is based on public approval, which is in turn influenced by the news magazine Amazing Crime Stories. This enormously popular "true crime" magazine prints glamorous police cases--usually involving noir clichés like secret societies, mafia assassins and baffling, meticulously-planned murders--that are allegedly true and unedited, but actually largely fabricated. It is revealed that early on in Spratt's career, his ambitious and self-obsessed partner Friedland Chymes stole most of the credit for their greatest cases, thereby rising to the top to become one of the most popular detectives in England. Jack, being totally honest and unwilling to cater the media's demand for glamorous hero detectives, was unable or unwilling to stand up for himself; Friedland and Jack have been enemies since. However, as the story progresses it becomes clear that Jack is not only honest, but highly intelligent and a much better detective than Chymes.

Spratt is a Detective Inspector with the Reading, Berkshire Nursery Crimes Division, with his assistant Sergeant Mary Mary (another nursery rhyme character). Spratt and Mary were originally introduced into the alternate Fforde universe in the Thursday Next novel The Well of Lost Plots (2003) before taking over their own "Nursery Crimes" series:

The Big Over Easy (2005)

The Fourth Bear (2006)
