amen to all of it! Since I gave up dieting my energy level has gone up, my arthritis is in remission, and my mental health has improved. My weight is stable on basically eating whatever I want - unlike the predictions of never-ending weight gain I hear from the naysayers. I really think all I got from dieting was 100lbs heavier. Plus high cholesterol (thanks, Dr. Atkins!)

The FDA sells out and no fatness is not a disease or toxin but stigma is.
The FDA has approved the diet drug Lorcaserin (Brand name Belviq). In case the name is not familiar, I wrote about its potential dangers two weeks ago. As I mentioned before diet drugs and supplements have never worked in the long run and some of them are deadly. My only hope is that Belviq is...
seems to me their "healthy employee" discount is about encouraging their employees to be thin for the sake of the image of the company. In other words, it's discrimination in the guise of concern for health.

Whole Foods, and whatever happened to "I respectfully disagree."
An old article from Jezebel points out that the Whole Foods healthy discount program where you get discounts based on BMI, Blood pressure, cholesterol and smoking) may not only be illegal but an invasion of privacy. Really, I don't ever want my to have any of my medical history. I've already giv...
the more I get involved with rights for fat people, the more amazed I am at how much hatred there is for us. I just don't get it. I didn't do anything to anybody. If anything, I've spent my life trying to impact other people as little as possible. Oh well.

I don't understand why anti-bullying language has to say anything about groups at all.. it should be "no bullying for any reason"

We love the children! (unless they are fat.)
If you've read my book, you'll know I was bullied as a child. As an adult, I tend to not let insults bother me but as a kid they made me miserable. While being bullied, adults rarely interceded. Supposedly now there are more anti-bullying initiatives... Unless you're a fat kid. In Georgia, a gro...

Man, that guy is really a stereotypical villain! I can almost see him twiddling his mustache while he imagines the emotional trauma he caused the little girl. And, yes, I think he gets those gov't checks... I think he takes all his money home in singles, lays the pile of singles down upon the bed, and then gratifies himself upon them. Just a guess.

I was going to write a bit of an introduction to this article but on second thought, I think the first few paragraphs of this bit from the Daily Herald speak pretty well for themselves: Telling her mother that she wanted to come to the aid of a library under attack, 11-year-old Sydney Sabbagha s...
Well the correlation was there, but as my Psych 101 teacher drilled into our minds over and over and over again, "correlation is not causality."

In the news: Oilyshit, the fat wars and who took my brain?
Perhaps the FDA jumped the gun a little bit when it approved the miracle fat drug Orlistat (aka Alli and Xenical) for over the counter. Seems to have a perky liver problem. "FDA notified healthcare professionals and patients that it is reviewing new safety information regarding reports of liver...
