A friend of a friend is making a documentary on the obesity epidemic from the fat-positive community's point of view. I'm very interested to hear what they put together as these voices are rarely heard in this discussion and people of size are so frequently villified.Here's her call for interview subjects:Hi, I'm a radio producer and grad student creating a piece about theso-called obesity epidemic. I'm looking for different personalperspectives on fat politics. I would love to get voices from NOLOSEand the fat activist/fat positive community. Would anybody beinterested? The target audience for this would be NPR and affiliates.I've been very disturbed at the way NPR has unquestioningly acceptedthe reality of the "obesity epidemic" and disregarded fat voices.This piece would be an attempt, in part, to counter that perspective.If you want to know more about the project and my particularperspective on fat politics before you agree or think aboutparticipating shoot me an email at
