International No Diet Day© Karen Kanter
May 5, 1998
Hi everyone:) I hope you you will join me in taking part in the sixth annual International No Diet Day. It is on May 6th, 1998. What is International No-Diet Day?
International No-Diet Day is a day to: Declare a moratorium on diet/weight obsession. Learn the facts about weight-loss dieting, health, and body
size. Celebrate the natural beauty and diversity of our sizes and
shapes. Affirm every*body*'s right to health, fitness, and emotional
well-being. Recognize how dieting perpetuates violence against women. Honor the victims and survivors of eating disorders and
weight-loss surgery. Work to end fat oppression and size discrimination. International No Diet Day is sponsored by a network of size rights,
anti-diet, feminist, and lesbian activists and organizations. Why not celebrate by going out for a good meal, or an evening of fun with someone you love? Or commit an act of random kindness, and help with a charitable project of your choosing. There are many more important things than your dress size.
