that looks like an excellent guacamole recipe.
I also love Stephen King's "On Writing." One of very few books about the hows and whys of writing that I have kept.
the "headless fatty" phenomenon - you know, I agree that it's offensive, and particularly because these almost certainly are, in the majority, unauthorized and uncompensated photographs.
The guy in the doctor's office with the 50-inch waist, now, he obviously knew a photo was being taken. But the majority of the examples looked like "sneak" photos.
However, I doubt there is grounds for a lawsuit. No subject of these photos could establish that they have suffered any harm.
I think you're right on how the actual individual doesn't suffer direct harm. And like you said in your comment last week, it's not like you can run a picture of a thin person next to an article on obesity. Still, the practice is deeply objectifying.
Thanks for backing me up on "On Writing"--I was stunned that it was so good.
As always, thanks for your insights Chacha!
