What is Good Morning America’s obsession with this woman? And why was she put on today’s show …. two days after the show with Marianne? Also, why was she given a face-to-face interview, an intimate, softball, cushy interview at that? She spent her time promoting fat myth after fat myth (obesity causes people to lose [...]

Our Health, Body, and Morals – Followup
I just want to thank everyone for the overwhleming response to my last post, The Connection Between Health, Our Bodies, and Our Morals. I’m really pleased by the well thought-out, careful, and rational posts by my readers, and I think my followup to the post deserves its own space. You will be relieved, I’m sure, [...]

The Connection Between Health, Our Bodies, and Our Morals
Juliet gets up at 5:15am. She throws on some gym clothes, takes a few sips of orange juice, and fills up her water bottle. She opens the storm door ever-so-softly (as not to wake her still-sleeping husband and two children), and begins her warmup. Five minutes later she’s pounding the pavement; forty-five minutes later, she’s [...]

Misdiagnosis of Cushing’s Blamed on Fat
I’m not sure if anyone in the Fatosphere has brought this up before, but I was watching episodes of TLC’s Mystery Diagnosis for the first time, and came across an episode where a woman with Cushings is ignored for years, because one of the symptoms of Cushings is rapid weight gain.

The Fat-Hate Troll in the Livingroom
I’m writing this in response to a heartbreaking post on RandomQuorum. I was just going to leave a comment, but really, this hits too close to home for me to be able to leave a comment of any kind of reasonable length. As background, the author of the post is going through a tough time [...]

A Fat Dream
I had a dream last night that the very fat, the moderately fat, the slightly fat, the average-sized, the thin, and the very thin were intermingling without thought to body weight. Some of the very fat were the lovers of the average-sized, and the very thin with the moderately fat, and so on and so [...]
