This essay develops a theo-ethical vision of fat liberation that rejects the trappings of the "religion of thinness" and celebrates the inherent worth of fat bodies through an incarnational theology that recognizes the image of God in every body size, the presence of body size diversity in creation, and the full inclusion of all body sizes at the eucharistic table. |
