I love Joy Nash. Seriously. I mean, maybe it’s because we have the same body type, or maybe it’s because she reminds me of what I once wanted to do — act in, write, and produce films of my own. Maybe she reminds me of WHY I didn’t go into the film industry — because [...]

Google Image Meme, BL-style
So Sarah posted this Google Image Meme post, and I thought I’d join in the fun! The rules are simple. Google Image Search the answers to the questions below. Then you much choose a picture in the first page of results, and post it as your answer. 1. Age at next birthday: 2. A place [...]

Welcome Integgy and “Fabulously Fat College Student” to the Fat Liberation feed!
I just want to submit a (long overdue…sorry, life has been hectic!) welcome to Integgy and her wonderful “Fabulously Fat College Student” blog to the Fat Liberation feed. Now, since you’re a sociologist, can you recommend me a good computational sociology text for my school next week? A great post of note: Prove it to [...]

Fat Liberation feed updated
Hi all! Just wanted to let you know that I updated the Fat Liberation feed so that I can publish an unlimited number of feeds, yay! So all of you that know of an FA-ish blog out there that doesn’t allow diet talk or food scare talk, or isn’t overrun by trolls, and especially if [...]

Welcome “Intelligent Protocol” to the Fat Liberation feed!
I just wanted to heartily welcome “Intelligent Protocol” to the Fat Liberation feed. Here are some posts of note: “Is Fat O.K.?“ “Diet can prevent or cure disease? Nice try, but–“ “Gastric Bypass Surgery as Type II Diabetes Cure?“ “Cannot find the absolute risk figures for a treatment? Go to the NNT!“ …and many others. [...]

A Nice Follow-Up – Obesity Epi-Panic
If you haven’t already, please read Sandy’s “The sky is not falling” post over at Junkfood Science. I think it serves as a great follow-up to my post this week on the Obesity Epi-Panic. Summary: A new study came out: Americans are living longer and are healthier than ever before. We are not dropping like [...]

Moral Panics, Moral Crusades, and the Obesity Folk Devil
I’m currently doing research into moral panics and moral crusades, partly because they’re interesting on their own merits (and a hell of a good way for a writer to get some meta-knowledge of societal movements), and partly because as time goes by (and I do more research), I realize that we’re both in a moral [...]

Is this a form of plagiarism, or am I reading into it too much?
Hi all, I really need your help. Recently Carrie at ED Bites posted: “Overheight Epidemic.” Of course, many of you will remember my “The Tall Epidemic” post from March. While my post is longer, with many more links, hers seems like merely a summary of mine, with nearly identical phraseology in parts (especially in how [...]

Usage per pound doesn’t make good economic sense
So a lot of people in FA have been talking about this article: “Airlines Might Start Treating Passengers ‘Like Freight.’” I don’t get the reasoning behind charging people per pound. Say that we just accept that people think it’s okay to discriminate against teh fatties. This policy, however, discriminates not just against teh fatties, but [...]
