Fit Links: Fat acceptance blogs

As fabulous as we at That's Fit think this blog is, the truth is there are hundreds of wonderful blogs on healthy living to be seen all over the blogosphere. So in this feature, Fit Links, we'll introduce you to some that have caught our eye.

Fat acceptance blogs are nothing if not controversial. They hold a strong stance that not every body is made to be thin and that loving and accepting your curves is the only way to find peace with yourself. But some experts think that accepting the skin you're in, when that skin falls into the category of obese, is dangerous thinking. The NYT recently wrote an article about fat acceptance bloggers, it's got people in the "fatosphere" (their word, not mine) talking.

Big Fat Deal, which I've read for years, focuses on weight in the media -- both good and bad. Big Fat Blog also covers media topics, but takes more of an activist stance, and readers can also join forums for further discussion. Kate Harding keeps things interesting at Shapely Prose, where it seems like there is always something brewing in the comments section. Red No. 3 tackles fat acceptance criticism with his cheeky Fat Hate Bingo.

Interesting reading, whether you agree with them or not. What do you think?
