This will probably piss everyone off but I don't care. My motto is "truth before harmony" so I am not one to mince words.
Let's start with reality. The fat acceptance movement is not a mainstream movement like the civil right movement. Agree? Disagree?
One prevailing sentiment and plank in the platform of the FA movement is that fat people even morbidly obese people are as healthy as lean people and if they are sick their excess body fat is rarely ever the cause? ?????
Is it a fair statement to say that fat acceptance movement believes that there is a lower limit for safe body fat meaning that is anorexics go below 10% for women and 4% for men they will suffer dire health issues but there is not limit of excessive body fat that can adversely effect the health of the obese?
I am conducting research for some articles about the obesity crisis in the US and I need clarification on the movement's position on high body fat and health.
I have asked this question of several fat activists and none of them would give me a straight answer. Often I am greeted with hostility for even broaching the subject. It seems like it is blasphemy just asking. I will be publishing an article on WLS and I know that FA is very involved with the topic of WLS and its dangers. I am hoping that a spokesperson and members of the FA community would like to answer the above questions.
I have one more question. Is Big Fat Blog a parody site used to poke fun at fat people or are they for real. I can't tell.
