A3) Are there are books about fatness and fitness that don't think the two words are mutually exclusive?

Mark Lewis:
"The Roly Polys : fit, fat and fruity"
with a foreword by Les Dawson
The Roly Polys are a British dance troupe, all middle aged and older,
and beautifully plump.
Publisher: W.H. Allen, London, 1986
ISBN/ISSN: 0491031750

Pat Lyons and Debby Burgard:
"Great Shape: The First Fitness Guide for Large Women"
Excellent, excellent, excellent. They talk about fitness and movement
as a right. They talk about barriers that keep people (particularly
fat women) from exercising. Probably also applicable to men.
Covers everything from bicycling to martial arts. Everything you
need to get started.
