HOW DARE YOU CALL ME FAT
Mars from Chicken Dinner Candybar does her regular Fat Love Friday and includes Marie from Agent Lover.

Marie is put off by her inclusion on a "fat" list and tells Mars so.

Mars offers to take it down. Marie refuses. Instead, she proclaims on her blog, "oh haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaale no!

Chaos ensues in the comments about fatphobia, body acceptance, fashion sense (or the lack thereof), and kissing-up commentors.

Is Marie brave or is she overreacting?

(I'm in the comments and I know Natalie [the 'overreacting' link], so I am slightly involved in the wank aftermath. It's pretty obvious which side i'm on.)

Same boat here.

Actually, funny thing is, due to my job involving heavy lifting, I gained about 15 pounds the first year I was working at it, all muscle. Still wearing pants I got back in high school. But now I'm not underweight according to the medical charts, so I'll live with it. First time in twenty years I've not had doctors insisting that I secretly had an eating disorder!

(Weight's a horrible guideline for health anyway.)
