I thought about the whole, fat people are unhealthy! they need to be controlled! when I was at the state fair and saw the skinny women in short shorts and halter tops. They had not one bit of muscle tone — they were simply skinny — and had wrinkles around their mouths from years of smoking. But they were thin. You know, healthy.

That’s a good interview. I just wish I hadn’t accidentally read some of the comments. Whole lotta hatin’ goin’ on there. Very sad and makes Campos’ point about the moral panic.

Wasn’t that AWESOME? The reality is that we do not know how to make fat people thin, nor do we know whether it will do any good. I just ordered Paul Campos’ book as a result of reading this.
