I read where some people are advising NAAFA to change its name. I posted the following comment on the NAAFA website.
On the subject of name change.
Even if the organization should change its name to something more socially acceptable such as, "The National Association Fighting the Disease of Obesity," in time the sponsors will figure out exactly what the organization is about. If they do due diligence they're going to look on the webpage before they commit to being sponsors and it will be relatively difficult to change the NAAFA webpage in such a way as to make it sound like it's fighting, "the Disease of Obesity".
By and large we are fat people or people who love and admire fat people who are fighting for equality for all.
