| Monday Jun 26, 2000 | It started with a woman who wanted to buy a Honda. Elizabeth Fisher wanted to buy
a Honda Odessey but like other of us fat
folk she was too big for the seat belt. Most other car makers offer seat belt extenders so
that everyone can safely strap in. Some offer them for free, some cost
no more than $30. Elizabeth contacted Honda
who has told her they will not make extenders. Further research found
that while Hyundai and Subaru also do not make extenders, nearly every other car maker
does. Elizabeth is trying to petition the NHTSB to amend a
Federal US regulation that would require car manufacturers to make
seat belts or offer extenders to cover everyone, not just people who
weigh up to 215 lbs, as they do now. Ironically, the National Transportation Safety
Board is big on it's
Buckle Up America program which encourages seatbelt use and offers
statistics showing how many lives are saved!
And while you might not
agree with this or just think this is just a "problem" for fat
people and big sports jocks, you might also think about how this "problem" affects pregnant women.

| Friday May 5, 2000 | May 6th is International No
Diet Day, a day designed to encourage people to stop hating their
bodies and loving themselves as they are, fat or thin. Despite
popular belief, fat people are not created by overeating
nor do we eat more than thin people. Yet we fat folk are constantly
told by the
media and medical folk that being fat is bad and we have to diet or die. From the
US to as far away as
Australia research repeatedly shows that dieting doesn't
work, that there is
no proof that losing weight makes you healthier, that health and
long life comes from exercise and being
fit, no matter what you weigh, and that the world's obsession
with being thin is encouraging
eating disorders in the young. Celebrations
of INDD around the world range from simple
gatherings to activism at it's finest at the Annual Scale Smashing
held by the fat activists in Washington state who call themselves SeaFATtle (their motto: "Raising
Consciousness or Raising Hell"). Whatever you do, I encourage you to
give up dieting, at least for the day, and instead read some
enlightening material or visit some online info and activism sites and
learn why FAT is not
