Fat
I am fat. I write and think about what it is to be fat. I wrote a book about fat. Fat is a big part of my life.

I think fat people are as valid as anybody. I think diet and weight loss culture is destructive and horrible. I think the rhetoric of the alleged global obesity epidemic stinks. I want to help make a world where people live freely and happily in their bodies - at every size. I think that the fat liberation movement is incredible, profound and life-altering and I am proud to stand alongside those who are part of it.

Here are a bunch of links and features related to my work.
