Because 98% of all diets fail and yet still women spend well over fifty billion dollars on diet products every year becoming failures; because women had their ribs removed to fit their bodies into tight clothing; because women have willingly swallowed tapeworms in the hope of becoming thin; because one in ten women throws up the food she eats before it can be digested; because diet "products" cause anal leakage, cancer, or heart failure and women still find this better than the alternative; because women refuse to quit smoking in the fear of weight gain; because 67% of girls aged 6-16 have been brainwashed into denying themselves nourishment they need to grow strong and smart; because 165,000 North American women die every year of self-imposed starvation; because anti-fat evangelists think fat equals sin; because by the time they're in grade one, most children have learned it's okay to despise fat people; because the average model is 5'10" and 100 lbs while the average woman is 5'4" and 130 lbs; because no one has ever shown that being fat is less healthy than being stressed out and on a diet; for all these reasons and many, many more, I BELONG TO THE FAT LIBERATION MOVEMENT.
