You may recall this post in which our Surgeon General Dr. Regina Benjamin talks about being healthy at any size. Well, as refreshing and awesome as that and she is for saying it, it’s time for us to speak up and let her (and our government) know how we feel on the subject! I am personally hand writing a letter (on cutey tare-panda stationary no less) to her right now. Because I think it’s important for her to know that she has my support and a hand written letter, no matter the length, tends to carry more weight (ha-ha) than say an email or tweet. Please consider writing her a letter (because seriously, it only takes two minutes) and just imagine what that would look like? A stream of letters from fats all over the USA, uniting to be heard! Woot!
