Fat acceptance
The fat acceptance movement is not new, it's been around for a number of years. Led by groups such as NAAFA and various blogs, the movement seeks to end "fat discrimination", rails against dieting, and tries to engender a feel good message about loving people for who they are and not trying to change anyone. I have mixed feelings about this. On one hand, I don't care what you do to your body as long as I don't have to see you naked. On the other hand, I'll be indirectly paying for your fourth quintuple bypass after you decide to eat foods exclusively from www.thisiswhyyourefat.com. Overall, it seems these fat acceptance people are less happy to be overweight then they are happy to rebel against what they see as societal conventions.
