Catalog / Zines / Figure 8 #3

Figure 8 #3 44 pages, 1/2 size, copied (3 oz) $2.00

Want to learn about how body size has little to do with how much you eat and how society fears and loathes fat people; scaring them into unhealthy attempts to lose weight? Krissy takes on corporate media and biased health institutions with the flair of fat activism. Interviews with FATASS cheerleaders and Marilyn Wann of Fat!so?; Yoga for Big Bodies, and lots of refuting of "facts" from mainstream news regarding "obesity" and health. My favourite items are a piece about Fat Activism in the '70's and a really fun ad for "Fat-ten-U Foods" from 1891 when a full figure was considered sexy and skinny girls were padding themselves for a more "acceptable" look. Fat activism goes hand in hand with anti racist work, feminism and queer power. So get this zine and love yourself...
