This is a great essay about fat and our relationship to it. What we call "fat" is socially defined, and may have little basis in what is "really" fat. I think this point is important to recognize because it indicates how arbitrary our judgements can be about what is fat, and how we value fat in ourselves and others. Fat, then, becomes a dynamic

YOu know what I do when looking for young-child data? Troll casperflea's old posts. Casper was 2.5 years old in... January of 2006. Her utterances (and bizarre habits, and skill-acquisitions) are strongly documented for Posterity.

Heh. Also, I will happily be your toddler-truther, if details as documented in my lj are not sufficiently detailed.

Thank you! I sent it off to Yoon, but will keep you in mind!

Not a mother, but much recent toddler experience, if you would like me to take a look.

13-year-old boys aren't much different from 2.5-year-old boys, just taller. ;) I can take a look.

Ah, stumptuous.com. Her site is really valuable for those of us who enjoy weight-training, and I particularly admire her attitude toward health and fitness for women. She's so wonderfully sane.

Seconded. Stumptuous is teh awesome. And there's something very geeky/fannish about the attitude, if that makes any sense.
