I decided last night that I'm going to write a Facebook note to all of my college network about me and the whole FA thing. Technically, I already "came out of the closet" a while ago, but I doubt all 400 of my facebook friends realize that. But the real point is not talk about me, but about the Fat Acceptance movement in general.
I truly appreciate it and want to stand behind it, and I hope to raise some public awareness of it. I don't think I'm too conceited to say that I'm already a bit of a student leader of sorts on campus, and I think my opinion would be listened to at the least.
What I'm looking for, therefore, is some information, statistics, and facts about fat biases, prejudices, etc. Also any helpful info on health wouldn't hurt as well. I'm sure with enough hunting I could find some on this site, but I was hoping some of you would have this at your fingertips, or point me to a site that had it distilled for me.
On a side note, I'm actually looking forward to "the masses" finding out that I think - as I've said before on this site - beauty can be found in anything and in anyone. I can't wait for the questions I'll be asked. Until then...help?
