Thanks to Red No. 3 who pointed out this article about a man who thinks he's a former fat-hater, but has "changed his ways". Problem is, only so far as to say that the world should pity the fat dieters because they have such a hard time losing weight: Article
I think this is a good opportunity to spread some info, since the guy obviously has an open enough mind to get this far. I'll bet with a little gentle excism of ignorant assumptions instead of insults, we could bring him around and have another Size-positive reporter/columnist on our side.
I've sent the first comment to that end, anyone else want to chime in?

All comments may be moderated. If you think you're entitled to free speech, you are, on your own blog. This is my blog. I have opinions that are often subjective, and as I'm not running a documentary or research organization, there's nothing wrong with a little subjectivity. I also have the right to not approve or delete comments I find mean-spirited, idiotic or encouraging what I consider objectional, dangerous, or plain stupid practices (such as weight loss or cosmetic surgery, changing your body to please others (i.e. "dieting"), spreading hate, etc.). If you voice disagreement with anything I say, and you do it in an intelligent matter with clear research citations to your claims and conclusions (popular media articles don't count) I will probably allow the comment. I will also probably debate you and try to refute your claims. If at any time that devolves into stupidity or attack, I will start deleting your comments. If you disagree with what I say by spouting pseudoscientific popular opinion, displaying prejudice or hate, or otherwise acting like an ass-hat, I will delete your comment. That's pretty much the policy, subject to change without notice :-)
