Big Fat Blog - BFB for short - was founded in August, 2000 and has its roots in size discrimination research that the owner, Paul, did in college.
Since then BFB has been recognized as one of the grandpas of the fatosphere, helping in a small way to encourage others to blog about fat acceptance and fat rights. Big Fat Blog has expanded to support the fatosphere with an events calendar, forums, activism, and lots more. In November, 2007, the first Big Fat Blog Think Tank was held in Chicago, Illinois, and helped launch the Coalition of Fat Rights Activists.
