So, I've been shocked on and off since I started coming here at how few people, especially skinny people, on FF are interested in size acceptance and fat liberation. This manifests in a whole lot of ways, two of them being the way we talk about health and the words we use.
The fantastic blog Feedee World pointed readers towards an episode of Penn & Teller's Bullshit that is about the former:

and it also pointed towards The Appetites Project, which begins with a piece on feederism:
feedeeworld.wordpress.com/
that is followed by a second piece interviewing our own MollyRen:
feedeeworld.wordpress.com/
and that also led me to a wonderful piece on the word 'fat' in the FAQ for Kate Harding's blog Lessons from the Fat-O-Sphere:

I hope some people who still think that being fat is necessarily unhealthy watch Penn & Teller. I hope some of you who don't like the word 'fat' read Kate's FAQ. And I hope we can have more conversations about these topics.
And for all of you with whom I've spoken about these things, or who care about them but we haven't met yet--thanks. No matter how much the fat lib folks hate us, we HAVE to care about their issues.
