* When did you first notice this interest, and has it changed over time?
when I was a younger child was interested in larger people but it never really became sexual interest until I was maybe 17 since I moved to university I definitely have accepted Feederism into my life significantly more

* What would greater public acceptance mean to you?
I would like to be able to go on more date out in public with a feeder I feel right now everyone in the community slightly hides who they are in public

* What would you like people outside the community to understand?
To understand that to gain weight is the feedees choice and yes there are health issues which may come with them but that is the individuals choice, while I don’t think the community needs to be celebrated but it also should be more widely accepted

The greater public understanding that humans have always found fat bodies beautiful, and that its fine to be any size that you choose.

Optional: In Your Own Words

* When did you first notice this interest, and has it changed over time?

first noticed my attraction to fat people while a kid, and was delighted to hear that people put on weight or became fat. as a young, athletic man i discovered the community in the very early online community (late 90s). in relationships i was dominant, thin and a feeder. it wasn't until i was 40 that i started to become the submissive feedee, quite unexpectedly. so i feel like i have lived two lifetimes in the community.

* What would greater public acceptance mean to you?

i think there is a lot of judgement based on perceptions of health. i think if society can accept that people who look fat aren't necessarily hell-bent on becoming thin, that would be a good thing. the hedonism of enjoying food or indulgence should not be automatically a negative thing. it feels like the body-positivity movement backed off a little with things like ozempic coming out, which tells us not everyone felt that it was ok, they were masking for something else.

* What would you like people outside the community to understand?

fat is a beautiful thing. touch it, squeeze it, feel it - it's so wonderful, soft, warm.... it's wonderful! to be hugged by a squishy, fat person is sublime.
