I suggest you do some research. There is no one in this group that
promotes obesity of any kind.

If you think different you should provide an example.

I was not specifically talking about this newsgroup. It has, after all, a
very limited impact on public opinion. But if you look at the whole
fat-acceptance movement, put it through the media and look at the end
result, what appears is what I described. The problem is that that end
result is what shapes the opinion.
This is quite unlike most of the fat-acceptance movement in France, which
focusses most of its energy on medium obesity and overweight women and on
investing the fat body with an healthy and sexy image. This seems to survive
through the media a little better (though it does get distorted). But we
have also gone slightly less far in the anorexic look, many actresses still
have a little something left on their bones. Maybe it's just cultural.
