Fat Girls Float: An Incredible Documentary That Needs Your Support
Fat Girls Float is the upcoming documentary by a 300 pound filmmaker, Kira Nerusskaya, that takes the audience on a journey through international fat subculture, giving fat women from four counties an opportunity to have their say. Despite many glares, glances, and gloating from media, family members, medical communities and the public-at-large these fat women tell their tales of sorrow and success, wow and woe. They discuss size discrimination, political activism, fat and size acceptance, and social networking communities. These fat women show how they need to rise above what the world thinks of them and point out their ability to overcome society’s condemnation through compassionate perseverance. In essence, fat girls float because they do not let their weight ‘weigh’ them down.

Throwing Their Weight Around: Canadians Take on Health At Every Size
“In Canada, the Health at Every Size (HAES) philosophy seems to have been taken up most enthusiastically in the health care setting by a small faction of dietitians and nutritionists… In this article, I will explore further how the HAES philosophy has played out in Canada considering the forces acting on and within individuals who consider their main professional activities to be those structured around food and weight. By considering professional identity in relation to HAES philosophy, those advocating for size acceptance might glean a new perspective in moving our cause forward among all health professions including dietetics.”
