Read, but I would advise against commenting on their site. It's a collection of blogs written by (self-proclaimed) "fat" people who are advocating "fat acceptance." Some of it makes sense--ie: it is wrong to discriminate against someone because of any aspect of their body (BMI, skin color, whatever). Also, it is far healthier and more productive to love ones body rather than hate it (see "Healthy at any size" movement). Where I get distressed, however, is the outrage they express over other people's concerns about health problems stemming from "fatness." Spoiler alert: "the obesity epidemic" is considered a dirty phrase on that site. There is some serious denial going on...It reminds me of the "ana" sites where people with anorexia encourage each other to keep up their eating disorders. I'm pondering the cultural and physcological causes and on-going effects of this war of body/self hatred...and the internet...what a mess! Reaffirms my belief that happiness needs to be priority, and that happiness starts with the simple building blocks of a healthy life, healthy food, exercise, sleep, shelter, and safety. So many Americans think they have their basics met, and so few do!Brad and Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14637144868904208292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7567196273387248909.post-60332389073531069692010-06-24T18:37:28.622-05:002010-06-24T18:37:28.622-05:00Sometimes I just try not to think about what has h...Sometimes I just try not to think about what has happened to the cereal Ian is eating (and sometimes I snack on it). The man likes HFCS, okay! I even READ him the bad ingredients!<br /><br />I wonder if people know that their food is making them sick. A friend of mine recently stopped buying as much processed food and is already noticing a difference in her energy levels. <br /><br />Isn't it also interesting to sneak looks into people's grocery carts? It tells a lot, doesn't it?! I bet it really does for you. <br /><br />BTW - are you sleeping normally again?Well-Sugared womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17973896750701630707noreply@blogger.com
