And then some of us probably aren't even that passionate about health and just know that fat people are comedy gold. What I'm saying is that we have a diverse range of motivations which is more than I can day for people whose day to day life seems to be 'consume calories, produce outrage.'  Hit the nail on the head. I like laughing at anti-science assholes in my spare time, and the HAES crowd has all of the ridiculousness of watching anti-vaxxers with the added benefit of fat jokes. It's great. For all the fatties like to bleat about diversity, they're really not all that complex.
