The perceived criminality of obesity
"Fat acceptance is not about denying the health problems associated with obesity. It is the acknowledgement of a person’s autonomy over his own physical self. It is a rejection of stereotypes that dehumanize large individuals, and unjustly reduce them all to lazy simpletons. It’s about comprehending the scientifically established fact that losing weight is harder for some than it is for others, and most importantly, about civil coexistence with those who look different."
