In this blog I hope to track my adventures in fitness, food justice, gardening and body acceptance. I will do so with a critical eye--examining how anti-fat bias, economics, class, sexism, urban (suburban and rural) development deprives us of satisfying movement, and how health is collective and personal.

Vanity Fair's Young Hollywood: All White & Thin Apparently!
So, according to Vanity Fair, Young Hollywood is all white and all thin. Somehow I'm not shocked that they forgot about breakout star, Gabourey Sidibe.
There is a great quote in Ebony where she addresses her outsider status in Hollywood:
"I don't try to live up to the standards of Hollywood or any of that – I know that I'm different and I celebrate it. In a weird way, I kind of really, really love being the alien in the room. I dig it."
Gosh, I hope she's nominated for an Oscar for her performance in Precious. I hope she wins. After all, are the Oscars about acting or beauty pageants sans the talent portion?
