Back in the glory days of r/fatpeoplehate I wasn't j-pilled. But I did do a lot of internet sleuthing into HAES ([healthy at every size](https://asdah.org/haes/)) and the history of it and the people around it.

The foundational text is "Fat is a Feminist Issue" a 1978 book by feminist author Susie Orbach. She was also the therapist to Diana, Princess of Wales during the 1990s.

If you didn't realise by now, Orbach is jewish - something I never noticed at the time. But I was posting somewhere else about her today and suddenly thought - "hang on, do the check".

With Luise Eichenbaum, Orbach created the Women's Therapy Centre in 1976 and the Women's Therapy Centre Institute, a training institute in New York, in 1981. She has been a consultant for The World Bank, the NHS and Unilever and was co-originator of the Dove Campaign for Real Beauty.

Orbach is member of the steering group for the Campaign for Body Confidence, co-founded by Lynne Featherstone and Jo Swinson in March 2010.

She's not even fat.
