[You] could be the first to break the equation linking body weight to moral or psychological status, to judge individuals for who they are and not for what they weigh, to examine [your] own attitudes toward people who are overweight, and to work to over come negative stereotypes ( J.A Cassell)

Fatism manifests in dozens of forms: from name-calling in schools and on the streets to overt discrimination in college admissions, job applications, and health care treatment. Size discrimination is oppressive and pervasive, and it has profound, lasting effects on children and adults.
