Health at Every Size brochure from Dr. Jon Robison and WELCOA

Wellness Council of America (WELCOA) is not the place I would expect a well done introduction to HAES to show up. (Apparently there is quite a backstory as to how it got published.)

What I appreciate even more than the text are the pictures of fat and average-sized people being active.

Wow! That is an extremely unusual source for HAES. Maybe the concept can get a bit more social traction now.

That's definitely cool. The second page is afu for me, but perhaps if I find a different pdf reader it will work.

It seemed at first as though the second page and beyond was messed up for me, but after a while it rendered (or whatever). Firefox 3.5.7 on Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala), Document Viewer.

That was nice to see...now if that sort of brochure would only become the rule rather than the exception.

Wow. Amazing. Do you have a link to that backstory? Sounds like a doozy....
