YouTubery - "A Fat Rant"

The "obesity epidemic" is all over the news these days. Tall, slender female anchors deliver the latest statistics on the American waistline with a look of carefully-crafted, news-anchorly concern. It's people's health about which Big Media really cares, right? That's why there are all these ads for weight-loss products and beauty aids--and pizza and hamburgers and ice cream and candy and . . .

Fear. Consume. Repeat.

Enter Joy Nash. This clever, sassy smart woman tells it like it is in her YouTube video, A Fat Rant. Her video is well-written, the delivery heartfelt and the pacing quick. She never shys away from the word "fat." You won't find any euphemisms in this video. This is a shout-out to everyday people struggling not so much with their weight as with the way they feel about their weight.
