Hours of protesting, letter-writing, fund-raising, blogging, teaching, marching, sitting-in, etc don't really compare to the daily work of being a feminist parent."Carmenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10966795237159255767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6142743576584523533.post-65922566178868382602009-05-19T13:10:00.000-06:002009-05-19T13:10:00.000-06:00I have just been realizing all this even more than...I have just been realizing all this even more than before. I'm visiting a 15-year old cousin this weekend. Some of the things she says about food are sad. I don't know if there's any relation between these ideas about food/eating disorders and class. Now that I'm paying for my own food with student loans and don't have job yet I want as much nutrition and calories as I can get for my money.Lyndsaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6142743576584523533.post-89301526071831278392009-05-19T10:54:00.000-06:002009-05-19T10:54:00.000-06:00I just wanted to say that I looove this post.

No one seems to get that being thin does not automatically equate with being healthy, just as being fat does not automatically equate with being unhealthy. They also don't get that health is not a moral imperative.Brihttp://www.fatlotofgood.org.aunoreply@blogger.com
