I laughed so hard I nearly peed my pants. I needed that laugh too.

I’m lovin’ reading blogs dealing with fat acceptance — I’m a 16/18 now, and feeling damn sexay! I get all kinds of warm fuzzies knowing you folks are fighting the “Size 2 == the one and only sexy!”

And you ARE hawt, Kate. Woo hoo! ^^

I love that line of hers. Hahah! But he really does believe there’s not ample stigma directed at fat citizens. The proof? FAT public AREN’T GETTING THIN. whether we stigmatized them sufficiently, they would! It’s scientific, y’all. [...]

I find it hard not to giggle at his last name because it sounds like the name 12-year old uses for his cleric in Dungeons and Dragons–Behold Saletan! And it seems like his scientific cred is roughly equivalent to that kid’s. But don’t get me started on his whole–pro-choice activists need to begin with the premise that abortion is eeeeeeevil argument. Sigh.

And, not to get hung up on the expertise bit but it amazes me that he (and so many other science reporters) seem to gloss over the fact that one of the co-authors is a* Political Scientist.* And, I say this as a political “scientist,” how the hell is he qualified to do an epidemiological study? This was an elaborate fantasy model that PSers are so fond of and Saletan is blowing it up into actual social policy. Which he then backs away from.

More yoga pictures, fewer jackasses!

Note to writers, try not to be an ignorant f*ck while simultaneously having a name that is one syllable away from the devil’s, he doesn’t like that you’re making him look bad.
