Excerpt from Dances with Fat: I have had about enough of fat bodies being used to represent everything from greed to laziness to a supposed health crisis. Pictures of headless fatties � who were typically not compensated or asked for their permission � litter the internet accompanying articles about rising healthcare costs (even though the CBO�s independent report showed that we�re not at fault), representing over-consumption of fast-food, even though there is no proof that fat people eat any more fast food than people of other sizes. Read the rest of her post -- Not Yours for the Metaphoring. ***
