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.
I think DANCES WITH FAT is also missing the mark. Sure there are social stigma with Fat people at work, But to keep it real as a fat person at work I can't take the stair between floors all day neither can my other fat co-workers. So that does call a 5 minute delay between between job assignments because I am waiting for an elevator to go one floor.
ReplyDeleteAlso, most fat related diseases can only be found in blood test like Diabetes. So they lady maybe health now but that doesn't mean maintaining fat for 10 years will provide the same level of healthiness.
