Livre d'Or

Very good thoughtful reasoned post, thank you. My previous experience of health-at-every-size people has been that they are very angry about the prevailing view and not very prepared to have reasoned discussions about it, so this is very helpful.

I have a related question that's linguistic rather than biological. You use the word "fat". I would be very hesitant about calling you, or anyone else, fat. Do you consider it a neutral descriptive term, or one of those reclaimed words that you can only use if you are it, or something else?
