  • These are the 10 best treks in the world From the foothills of Scotland to the remote islands of Indonesia, follow my journey of walks.

    Some people collect art, others cars or wine. I am a bagger of exotic walks. My ambition is to identify, and write a book about, the 100 best walks in the world — although I’m aware that, because of the size of the task, it may well have to be published posthumously. I love the quiet, unsynthetic joy of striding through exceptional places, with days given over to free-form rumination. It brings a soaring intensity of feeling that is rejuvenating and energizing. In order to get definitive about the best walks, I have been musing about their essential ingredients. There are thousands of beautiful walks, so beauty can only be…

  • AWKWARD! Youtuber asks strangers to rate each other’s weight—and there’s only one fat girl "You could see how bad the 'obese' girl felt."

    “You could see how bad the ‘obese’ girl felt,” reads one comment with over 200 upvotes to the controversial video that seems to divide everyone. The creator of the video, blogilates, has posted a defense of sorts where they claim the women were aware ahead of time that they would be discussing weight. Apparently that’s an asshole license and everything’s fine then. I started planning this video a while ago, and I was very aware of how sensitive this topic was going to be. We needed to find women who were comfortable discussing their weight on camera and we needed to produce this video in the most compassionate way. I…

  • Obesity re-programming: is perception being manipulated? An ever-growing press trend demands we not only accept obesity, but laud it as if it were inherent and unchangeable — even aesthetically pleasing.

    Are we being re-programmed via an ever-growing press trend to not only accept obesity but laud its appearance and acceptance, as if it were an inherent and unchangeable, aesthetically pleasing characteristic, like eye color? In the search for romance and partners, individuals are being vilified for stating preferences for slender/fit types, which heretofore was argued as biologically driven selectivity for healthy (fertile and able to bear children) partners. Parents are being condemned for not accepting their children’s obesity and castigated when they call it out, however hard it must be on all sides, regardless of the extreme level of destruction they are witnessing in their beloved children and trying to curtail. That…

  • It Happened To Me: I crushed a little fat girl’s spirit by wearing her enormous clothes On how to protect ourselves from being fat, and why it’s so important, especially for my daughters, to not be fat.

    True story: down the street from us live a couple with two very lovely daughters. The girls’ names really do start with A and B, so I’ll call them Girl A and Girl B. The Dad is in great shape and not overweight in the slightest, but the Mom…oh my. She is a good 100 lbs overweight and maybe even more. It comes down to the food they eat. Standing out in front of their house last summer, Mom came out and asked the kids if they wanted strawberries. Strawberries! Yummy! She brought out a plate of strawberries that were coated in caramel and then dipped in chocolate and she…

  • If your children are fat, you are failing as a mother Being poor, lazy, or tired are invalid excuses for tossing a frozen pizza at your fat, unhappy kid.

    Most Americans are overweight and don’t see anything wrong with that. As weights have gone up, so have perceptions of being “ideal”, with the ideals getting fatter and fatter and fatter …. and people reporting themselves to be just dandy fine with the situation. Men’s average ideal weight is up 14 pounds since Gallup first measured it in 1990, and their average actual weight is up 16 pounds. Women’s average ideal weight is up 11 pounds since 1990, and their average actual weight is up 14 pounds. Basically, over the past two decades people have consistently said they wanted to lose about 10 to 15 pounds off their current weight…

    A neighbor’s son — let’s call him PumpkinHead — turned 21 yesterday, so my son and I stopped by to bring a present and our best wishes. It seemed like a good opportunity for him to meet some new women, and women were everywhere! PumpkinHead and his older brother PotatoHead are popular guys in this town, and they seem to know everyone. Both good-looking, fun men to be around, with good jobs and a great family and all their shit together. So obviously, very popular with the ladies. But looking around last night for potential prospects for my son, I noticed something striking. Every single one of the women at…

  • Why are you so fat? Your body. Your choice.

    There is much ado about Stella Boonshoft’s underwear selfie that she recently posted and I have something I have to get off my chest about this whole boondoggle. Stella runs a blog that is part of a Fat Acceptance movement, which is essentially asking the wider culture to accept fat bodies as beautiful and valuable. Which is fair enough. My first reaction on seeing her picture was Eww gross! I do not find fat to be beautiful at all. I don’t personally like how it looks all squishy and soft and the thought of touching that soft warm squishiness makes me yuck! so hard. That’s just me, I know. But…
