Vital reading in the obesiverse, learn more about the size acceptance movement and be enlightened. :)
Wow! I never even knew about the fat underground! :) That's so punk rock! Wiki says "The Fat Underground, founded by Sara Fishman (then Sara Aldebaran) and Judy Freespirit, took issue with the growing bias against obesity in the scientific community. They coined the saying, "a diet is a cure that doesn't work for a disease that doesn't exist". Wow, back in '73! I don't even have a car or comic book that old by now! I was 4 geez.
"In 1969, William Fabrey founded a social club promoting "Fat Pride" called the National Association to Aid Fat Americans, subsequently renamed the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance" More on that later! :)
Wow I can't believe that this link was in the "references" because of a notation that some size acceptance groups will turn the tables and ridicule thin people as well.
I really like this line, because it shows that if you argue with logic, facts, and statistics, you are still wrong when saying "diets don't work"! LOL Here's the line from Wiki: "the common fat acceptance mantra that "diets don't work" is considered by some critics to be an oversimplification that may discourage a person in need of a healthier lifestyle from making responsible and potentially beneficial changes in eating habits.". To apply a quote from one of my favorite animated TV shows "Frisky Dingo", "you can't has cheeseburgers!". OMG I didn't just drag Frisky Dingo into the Obesiverse! lol It is relevant though. It's all relevant! I can oversimplify things a little, "ya got nothin'". I mean, some techniques work for some people some of the time, but even the most extreme and dangerous measures fail a lot, and despite the low mortality stats, we all seem to know someone who ended up being one.
Even Ludacris had to use 5 super-strength super-sized body guards in the video for the song "Get Back". Them look like some sexy voluptuous real women not dancers in fat suits! That's for another post in fat media though.
