"guys who like fat chicks"...as told to the village voice

i have to say, i'm kind of bothered by the notion of feeling proud of being fat, but there are thousands of people that disagree with me on that. i am absolutely all for self-acceptance and self-love...i don't think that any healthy or happy life can grow out of anything but that. but i do have a problem with people liking obesity, in themselves or in anyone else (like the voice article). the reason has nothing to do with societal standards of beauty or marketing companies' campaigns...it has to do with health. 

there's not a single ounce of me (and there are a considerable number of ounces left) that thinks anyone, no matter their size, should be ashamed or made to feel less than because of their weight or size (or anything else for that matter) but i do think it's a scary trap to get caught in, defending and professing love for being fat.

thoughts?

update: my blogging friend bloomie directed me to this website that addresses some of what i guess are common concerns...what do you think?
