One topic we really wrestled with in class was the idea of fat being unhealthy (not necessarily), of being outside the norm (as defined by whom?) and being a source of shame instead of empowerment (which certainly feeds into the discourse of perpetual discontent the diet industry keeps fostering.)
So I will be posting articles and stories that challenge those notions and hopefully shake us loose from those force-fed perceptions that our default position (as opposed to the consumerist mind-set) is skinny.
Fat & Fabulous
