The study’s researchers say that fat lesbians are of “high public-health significance.” Possibly they know something we don’t.
A fat-positive critique of main-stream “obesity” research by the inimitable Lesley Kinzel, author, activist, fat grrrl.
From the article’s conclusion (which roams beyond the specific topic in the title): “The truth is, people and kids who are food-insecure and/or primarily feeding themselves with heavily processed food obtained from convenience stores may be fat, or they may be thin, or they may be somewhere in between, but their overall health is certainly suffering no matter their weight. So long as we unquestioningly persist in our cultural obsession with fatness as a primary predictor of health, we will continue to overlook broader institutional issues having negative effects on the public health of all individuals, no matter what they weigh.”
