Is there a stigma attached to weight?

Hi, Everyone –

A New York Times article last week talked about the growing “fat acceptance movement” and how more attention is being paid to overall health and not just weight. It is definitely true that even a very slim person can be unhealthy, and that a healthy regimen of diet and exercise is key in maintaining overall health, not just weight. However, I’m interested in hearing your thoughts on this subject. What do you think about fat acceptance?
