Probably not news to a few people on my flist...

So, I was doing my normal morning stroll through feminist blogs this morning, and came across this link in one of the comments:

Don't you realise fat is unhealthy?

Don't let the title fool you - the author is using it in an ironic sense. It's a manifesto of their blog (or at least the principles underlying it), which is all about fat acceptance, and is also a really good primer about the various research around that points out that actually, all that stuff that society keeps throwing at us about how being overweight is such a terrible thing is complete bullshit.

I highly recommend it as a very accessible read for everyone.
