A Plus-Size Dilemma

To the Editor: Does the Dartmouth not have an editor? A fact-checker? Someone who looks at what your guest columnists have written and vetts it for accuracy, at the very least? Timothy Mosso's article "America Bulks Up" misrepresents the purpose of the organization NAAFA, misidentifies the purpose of "Big Fat Blog," states falsely that it is affiliated with NAAFA and misrepresents the true nature of links to the "Center for Consumer Freedom," which appeared on "Big Fat Blog" in the context of a discussion, not in a promotional manner as Mr.. Mosso asserts. A simple check of the NAAFA website would provide accurate information regarding the organization's purpose and the means by which they work to achieve it. Similarly, a simple check of the frequently asked questions page on "Big Fat Blog" would have made it clear that there is no NAAFA affiliation, as well as clearly illustrating the purpose of the site.
