Thank you for sharing that. They apparently do a campaign here every fucking January. I fucking hate January.

Thanks! That's an excellent link. Now that I think about it, my college actually isn't doing any kind of nasty anti-fat campaign, which is pretty impressive. I'll have to ask at the health center whether they're conscious of that decision and HAES.

An excellent post, that. Thank you for sharing it.
