Pudgy Protestors

From CNN, we have this priceless story - about the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance (NAAFA), which is holding its annual convention at the Mariott in Newark. The agenda is basically to protest the diet and health industries, which have been conducting a "witch hunt" against obesity. The NAAFA aims to counteract this with its "fat liberation" movement.

This story, of course, raises two very important questions:

1) Where can I sign up to run a concession stand at the event?

2) If corporations are blamed for people being fat and they're also blamed for people being not fat, can the corporations claim that Americans are being, um, force-fed a load of propaganda?
(Of course not! Pass the donuts; actually, don't pass them. I don't know. Either way, call my lawyer!)
