Hello,

What are the consequences of passing the View a Fat model? My Fat models generally hold business logic for querying the database and data members representing the functional table structure. I have seen ViewModels used in substitute for Fat Models but, I don't fully understand why.

Please let me know if you need further clarification.

Thanks,
robNO.
