I've been trying to comment over there, without success. I had a registration with them, but I guess it's been inactive too long and they flushed it. But congratulations on getting this in HuffPo! The more people who speak out about this, the better.
That was a beautifully-written piece! You have a real knack for providing the appropriate level of information and eliciting sympathy at the same time. While I wouldn't wade through HuffPo comments if you paid me, I bet there's less of the knee-jerk "fatty's living in a fantasy-world" crap that you often see as a reaction to fat acceptance articles. I'm really so happy to see this published. Thank you!!!
I've just saved this to my teaching texts file for the fat studies unit in my disability and medicine course. It's spot on! And congrats on the book; just pre-ordered it!!
