-------------------------

How many times have we been asked about the title for our website?  Fat is the New Black is entirely a fashion statement - as always the phrase "the New Black" is - remember the year the fashionistas decided brown was the New Black - so we all wore brown to the Christmas Party? Well that's exactly what we are talking about.

Look back through history - Reubens painted portraits of fat women; fat was fashionable - the Edwardians and Victorians used their fat to show off their wealth; fat was fashionable. We, on the other hand, use our media to show that only thin is acceptable - look around you at magazines, wall hordings, television advertisements - you won't see many fat people there.  We don't exist or if we do, then we are gruesome people to be avoided.  Just imagine for a moment, a world in which you, a so-called NORMAL person (apparantly "normal" = slim) suddenly didn't fit in - you ceased to exist.................now you know how we feel.
