Big Boned Blog turned me on to Joy Nash’s Fat Rant, which is my new favorite. You have to watch it (feed readers click here):
There are dozense of responses, but I particularly enjoyed this one from the Shadow Box (feed readers click here):
And this one from Krystle (feed readers click here):
I also appreciated this one, which talks about the struggle for people who are underweight (feed readers click here):
I love this celebration of healthy bodies of all sizes, especially on the heels of National Action Against Obesity’s comments about American Idol Jordin Sparks being obese and a poor role model for American kids.
What’s your rant?

I talked about the fat rant in my blog too today. Its really entertaining and just goes to show that there’s no body image type that is so that bad that dialogue can’t make better, spicy, funny or even interesting.
I am currently working on a research on weight discrimination in the workplace. Please take the survey..
