This is the same crap in a different package. "oh it's all well and fine but I still don't want to be fat". Nothing about how stigmatization of fat plays a role in the fat acceptance movement or how people with medical problems causing weight gain or swelling play into things. Or hell, even fetishists! I see nothing but the same thing focusing on appearances. As a fat chick this annoys me. I'm not going to apologize for being fat. If you want to do more stories on fat people then you can do a story on me. I don't care. This isn’t a different side to the obesity story!

I definitely have to ask if the park in the shot of the woman swinging is Webster Lake. I live right behind there. :) Amazing pictures, I love that you really opened a different side of the obesity story.

We were not designed by nature neither to run away from food nor to work when it is not necessary. I ran two half-marathons during my PhD and I feel that the problem is widespread in all highly educated communities. Law requires us to cover our bodies but one day it will require us to be fit avoiding a widespread collapse of society since modern life changes our survival capabilities.
