You are a talented and amazing writer, and funny as hell (seriously. Fuck you, Adam Carolla). I just did a somewhat related photo challenge on my blog. Thank you for being such a powerful voice for size acceptance.

p.s. that piece on the view was hilarious. so much more funny than trying to flag down people to help me with an adorable fawn abandoned by its mother that i just found on the side of the road and was hoping that it could be rescued. so much more funny than people hiking up to one of my favorite campsites in the wilderness just to leave exorbitant amounts of garbage all over the place along with their random piles of toilet paper that they couldn’t drag back to their campfire. so, body weight who cares, but there is a HUGE matter of weight in this culture right now as to why it is no longer my home and won’t be the case. too many people sitting by to a showcase of issues such as civil rights abuses — we shall overcome and much has been done, but i recognize what many minority groups face and i know that many people are worse off than some of us, but that is all the MORE reason why walking, flying, hitching, railing, trucking across the country was about other people’s stories as well. it was not a narcissistic masturbatory experience but the hate and bigotry limited so much and that is very unhealthy weight and nothing i wanted to promote and thus, why my spirit is not in the united states and will not be here this summer. only here in body — heavy or light because love is not a word i associate with the past 15 years in this country.

lovely margaret. but what is unhealthy weight?? having to work with a production crew that you hate. find them putrid because they cannot take ownership for producing homophobic, bigoted, fraudulent, disgusting, toxic, diseased, putrid, did i say homophobic, culturally oppressive ignorant garbage. body size?? who cares. but, when grossly obese people who are not out walking across the country because they would rather be part of slothful, lazy, cheap gin and xanax pathetic programs while wondering why this society has such challenges with unproductive paintings of cheezy brooklyn hipsters posing for the studio presses but doing little on the road outside of their tour engagements — unhealthy weight?? waiting around for a bunch of bigoted morons to move beyond 15 years of pathological shit. thus, i don’t read the news any longer as the french, swiss, english, spanish, italians, dutch and japanese (who were able to cut through the crap) were far more informative of the fraud and aggro garbage that has been streaming from the lairs of junkies, alcoholics, and pedophiles as this winter showcase with selfish cunts in miami beach.

love your post — love food — we have our bodies, but unhealthy weight is a showcase of cunts who have heavy metaphysical posturing wasting plenty rather than taking ownership for a negative showcase of incredibly cheap and selfish behavior.

Dearest Margaret,
Thankyou for this and your great book. The true health crisis is women with eating disorders that are encouraged by the dieting industry and the culture. Diets don’t work for most people- psychological and physiological factors kick in that make you gain it all and then some back. Be here now, and get on with your gorgeous life, my friends! Love Karen Nyere

thankyou dear Margaret! I”ve read your wonderful book- this is a war we are waging against fatphobia and the multi-billion dollar diet industry.
If you have a Kindle, please read Paul Campos’ “The Obesity Myth”. It’s revolutionary and oh, so true.
Love you, girl! Let us all spread the love for all sizes and shapes around! And then get on with our lives! Karen Nyere
