The Big Fat Carnival Homepage!
The Big Fat Carnival is a carnival for collecting some of the best blog posts regarding fat pride; fat acceptance; critiques of anti-fat bigotry, attitudes and research; celebration of images of fat people; practical difficulties of being fat; fat love (queer and otherwise); feminist views of fat and fat acceptance; the health at every size movement (HAES); and whatever else each edition’s editor feels fits into the theme.
(But please note, The Big Fat Carnival is not a place to advocate weight-loss diets, weight loss surgery (WLS), or feederism.)
The Big Fat Carnival is organized by Ampersand of “Alas a Blog.” There will be a new edition of The Big Fat Carnival every two months, on the first Tuesday of every even-numbered month. If you’d like to host a future edition of The Big Fat Carnival on your blog, please email Ampersand and we’ll get you hooked up.
