“If you don't know it, I'll let you in on something: there are two worlds out there with regard to how people feel about fat. In one world - the one that controls most of the media and sells most of the products, the one that runs the politics and the public works - fat is a travesty. The very word "fat" is a terrible insult from which you protect your friends and lovers.

In another world, increasing numbers of people of all body types live happily and healthily and with minimal regard for beauty tyranny. They work and walk and swim and have sex and dance and sleep and get sick and well and love and die without organizing their lives around their hatred or suspicion or judgement of their bodies. Well, they practice living that way, at least, because the other world is tough to ignore.”

“And what of the lie that both you and I would be unsafe if you were allowed to love? Both you and I and all of our beloved progeny would perish if you weren’t able to kill on command? Daddy, my fierce protection of you has given lie to the statement that you are the triumphant protector and I would be prey. Daddy, these words between us now tell the story of our history – how we were once, and are still, prey to bigger animals, fiercer doctrines, hulking harbingers of doom that drape themselves across the sun, threatening. We are both needed to restore the balance between heavens and earth. We are both capable of this magic, this feat.”
