Subject: RE: Obesity and Discrimination -Reply
There are two other places where you may find information on the social aspects
of obesity.  Naomi Wolf's book "The Beauty Myth" is well known as discussing
some of these peripheral issues.  For a sociological account, dig deep into the
sociological archives for some of the interesting articles written by Natalie
Allon (?).  She devoted much research into the area of weight and social image
until her untimely accident and long term coma condition occurred during the
early 1980s.
