Health at every size.

The movement got it's start as working against fat shaming, but they very quickly left their original monikers sentiment behind to become fat acceptance.

The problem is, health is actually pretty strongly tied to size. You get plenty of unhealthy skinny people who eat like shit sure, but the reverse is rarely nearly as true.

Add to that the obesity crisis in the US, and the fact that generally people aren't talking merely a bit chubby, it all becomes rather questionable.

Ah, that's unfortunate.

I mean, yes, don't fat sham people. That's wrong. But don't lie and say everyone is healthy at every size. Anorexic people aren't healthy just like morbidly obese people aren't healthy. (Not in the same way, but I digress.)

*sigh* That's actually quite sad because I find it probably turns people away from the legitimate anti-fat shamming movement.

And HAES is connected with feminism? If it started with body image stuff I guess I can see why. Hmm... Thank you for letting me know.

...but that's not even the point of HAES? HAES is about encouraging people to try and eat right and exercise regardless of how much they weigh or how likely they are to lose weight as a result. The message isn't "sit on your ass all day because you're healthy no matter what you do or eat," it's "take care of yourself even if you don't lose weight from it, because there are other benefits besides being a size 4."

Like, I don't doubt that there are people in the fat acceptance movement who do the plug-your-ears thing, but that's a pretty gross misrepresentation of it.

Unfortunately, ill omened's version is the only one I've seen people tut.

Like I said, I don't doubt that, but that doesn't make it the correct definition.
