I Have A Dream
By Nancy Hill, Thu Dec 8th

Like Martin Luther King, I have a dream.

My dream is...

· Of women loving the uniquely beautiful bodies they were bornwith.

· Of no one wasting another minute of their short, precious lifetrying to diet into some skinny, impossible ideal.

· Of women in beautiful, curvy, womanly bodies fully ripe andgorgeously inhabited.

· Of women doing good work in the world and loving theirfamilies instead of obsessing about food and what size theywear.

· Of a world that no longer shames the naturally curvy femalebody.

· Of bigotry toward body sizes fading away and becoming asunacceptable as bigotry toward skin color or race.

· Of children being accepting of varying body sizes instead oflearning to make fun of each other.

· Of people enjoying food and loving life instead of deprivingthemselves and being miserable in the name of beauty.

· Of movies that cast actresses who look like women instead ofemaciated skeletons.

· Of a world rich with love and acceptance rather than one ofsouls starved by hatred and rejection.

To be honest, it feels awkward to apply a great man's signatureline to a different cause. And yet, I think Reverend King wouldunderstand. I think he would agree that bigotry and hatred ofany kind is unacceptable.

I think he would support women living rich lives instead ofstarving themselves and being miserable due to extreme culturalprejudice. I think he would agree that a person can no morechange their genetic body size and shape than they can changethe color of their skin. And that neither shape, nor color, haveanything to do with the quality of the person.
