Size Diversity Activism, Paper Mâché, and a Guinness Record. You Know You Wanna Be Part of This!

After hearing about Angela Meadows’ fantastic idea to destroy our old diet books as part of a Size Acceptance revolution, we wanted to join in – in a big way. We can donate our own books, but we can go farther than that – why not liberate diet books from local re-sale shops (local businesses make money, the diet companies don’t) too. And why not use the books to make a paper mâché sculpture? And not just any paper mâché sculpture, but a size-positive sculpture that breaks the Guinness World Record for paper mâché!

Want to be involved? Super Awesome! There are lots of ways:

Send us your old diet books.

Media mail is cheap and we’ll put them to very good use! E-mail us to get the address and send them along.

Donate to our diet book liberation fund.

We’ll use 100% of funds to liberate diet books from re-sale shops, and use 100% of books for our sculpture.

Here’s a fun way to help the planet, the project, and local businesses:

Participate in the Paper Mâché Days

If you’re in the LA area you can attend a build day, bring your diet books, hang out, and paper mâché to your heart’s content.
