For those Fumento "fans" among us, (I say with tongue in cheek), PR watch has an interesting article on him taking money from Monsanto to promote biotech:

It doesn't relate directly to fat acceptance, but it does show that he is a hired hack. No doubt his virulent tirades against fat people are, in part, bought and paid for too. Not just by diet companies; but by corporations who want us so guilt obsessed with our own "faulty" behaviors, we will be blind to the ways in which they endanger us.
(I add this disclaimer that this site is a bit controversial. I personally don't agree with everything they say either. But it is good for some things, so just take what you want and leave the rest as they say!)
