    The weight debate rages on with Mary Ray Worley’s essay, "Fat and Happy: In Defense of Fat Acceptance." Worley, who is a member of the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance (NAAFA), argues that “trying to manipulate our bodies into being something they’re not” (167), bearing the guilt about one's body, and trying to change how one looks in order to bring others happiness is not the way to live.
