To fully understand NAAFA is to understand a dichotomy in logic. Most NAAFA members we've been in contact with claim to eat very little..sensible diets..even vegitarian diets. All NAAFA members I've spoken to claim to excercise regularly.
But these pictures, of NAAFA members at a Fat Acceptance convention, paint a very different picture.
To obtain body size of this nature, simple biology tells us you must ingest far many calories than you expend.
NAAFA wants you to believe that morbid obesity is healthy, normal and desirable.

NAAFA promotes a "fat and happy" idealology. I have no doubt that some of these people are indeed having fun and enjoying themselves at a fat acceptance convention.
Believing that one can be truly happy while mordibly obese, with all the health and mobility problems it entails, on a day to day basis is a different story altogether.

NAAFA is frequently referred to as a death cult, for very good reason. To be a member of NAAFA, you must accept the consequences of obesity.
As widely documented studies prove, obesity leads to a host of debilitating health problems—including early death—most of which are reversable through weight loss.

From NAAFA's site:
"Because being fat can be both a physically and emotionally isolating experience, NAAFA has helped to create and sustain a fat subculture. "
This cult would rather you pretend to be part of an elitist group, entitiled to special privileges, rather than confront the obvious truth: Obesity is an unwanted social stigma. Morbid obesity is dangerous and demeaning. It is not a desirable condition.
