You should take up cricket because it is great. (I say this to tease because I know full well you were conditioned to hate cricket by myself and your other brother. Still, it is a great game involving mild levels of physical activity. I can picture you as a late order biffer and slow right armer). If you were prepared to commit to serious fitness, you might enjoy rugby. That is a sport where everyone knows size and fitness are not related. I haven't been to a rugby club in years, but from memory the women's teams are certainly not anti-fat.
Seriously though, if you have any spare slots, can we have a post about Charlotte Cooper's criticisms of the body as a locus of health, and the way even fat activism focuses on health issues. That's assuming you have thought about her stuff. I figured it might be interesting to hear a biologist respond.
Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.
