Founded in the spring of 2013, Fat Girl
Food Squad arose out of Ama Scriver and
Yuli Scheidt’s joint desire to create a space
to talk frankly and openly about what really
mattered to them. Fat Girl Food Squad is a
blog, and more importantly — a community,
­
focused on the intersection between food,
fat, and Feminism. These core ideas inform
everything we do and everything we write
about. We aim to provide a safe, positive
space for all bodies, while showcasing
those who label and identify themselves
as fat and endeavoring to breakdown the
stereotypes and barriers that surround such a
controversial three letter word.
