If you're one of those weirdos who gives me a reason to guard Nith Bach, you maybe noticed that I've been on a bit of a binge on "FA/HAES cringe & commentary" videos, so I'm going to revive this old series of mine, to see if I can carve myself a niche in this YouTube micro-genre.

The concept of the series is simple: I read something, offer some kind of my own commentary, and talk about it. I try to keep things to under 2hrs.

This week, I'm going to start reading Susie Orbach's FAT IS A FEMINIST ISSUE, a 1978 self-help volume for "compulsive eaters," which is now known as BED. Basically, _there's a reason why_ the FA/HAES cult has scrubbed this from the "Fat feminism" article on Wikipedia, because the book addresses overeating as something that a person can overcome, in favour of a healthier lifestyle.

Anyway, are you at least vaguely entertained by all this? Do you want to help me out some? Because my life is in chaos, and I have no idea what I'm doing. As a result, I'm in a motel, and you can help me towards another week *not* sleeping rough on the streets:

PS: AnaNerv was catapulted to a moral panic in the 1980s, after the death of singer Karen Carpenter. It's an excruciatingly rare condition. OTOH, obesity is on the rise GLOBALLY.
