It will help someone, in time. Sometimes I feel that way about the ISAA website, then some amazing situation comes about and I am so glad it's there for whoever needed it! Hang in there, Sue.

After some time, I arranged an interview with legendary actor and photographer Leonard Nimoy (”Mr. Spock” from Star Trek). It’s short but sweet! Listen to the streaming media or download the MP3 file at http://www.podwom.com

Thanks, Mary. You make a very interesting, and I think valid, point. There is too much bias in too many doctors, and it's actually been proven by the Rudd Center at Yale. This anti-fat bias has been spilling over to the politicians for years and all…

There are more of us than them- we can defeat all this nonsense. Also, the Senate and House of Representatives is full of fat folks, but will they put our best interests at heart? The real problem lies with the medical establishment. For 25 years my…

We have begun to get glimpses at the U.S. Government-proposed “public option” in health care, and it is worse than I feared. And now ISAA is getting media requests to discuss the proposed “obesity taxes” associated with the same healthcare measures.…

What Will It Take?

We have begun to get glimpses at the U.S. Government-proposed “public option” in health care, and it is worse than I feared. And now ISAA is getting media requests to discuss the proposed “obesity taxes” associated with the same healthcare measures. The possibilities of the potential future are frightening.

Of course, we should be used to being made afraid. The medical and bariatric surgery industries try to make us afraid of fat, the U.S. Government tries to make us afraid of fat and just abou… Continue

Sound The Size Acceptance Alarm!

Here in the United States, we just celebrated Independence Day, the 4th of July. And yet, we are in uncertain times – financially, politically and most of all, in terms of our civil liberties. There is a growing feeling in America that our liberties are expendable in the pursuit of solutions to problems like the economic crisis and providing health care just as they were (and are) concerning the war on terror.

New PODWOM - From Experience!

Once upon a time, Without Measure (the WOM in PODWOM) was a popular ISAA e-zine, and one of the pages in WOM’s BBTeenz section was called “From Experience.” Thanks to a brilliant suggestion from my wife, now we’re transitioning that section from the e-zine to the podcast. Submissions requested (details in the podcast)!
