Teen lit alive with positive characters of size

Like never before, teen lit is alive with plus-size characters who take on their school tormenters and get the guy, soaking up self-esteem as football heroes and big-girl models.

I understand that overweight people struggle to come to grips with thier own self worth and acceptance, but I resent the implication that I, a fit individual (not fat), am part of the problem because I don't embrace their obesity.

I empathise, but don't expect me to gain a hundred pounds to prove it.
