HUFFPOST PERSONAL 06/29/2018 11:01 am ET Lesley KinzelGuest Writer This week, Self magazine unveiled its first digital cover, featuring a surprising photo choice: plus-size model Tess Holliday, posing in diaphanous fuchsia, her bare back and one of her upper arms forming the center of the image. A post shared by SELF (@selfmagazine) on Jun 26, 2018 at 7:01am PDT This was surprising because Self has historically been a “fitness” magazine, and fitness is usually code not for metabolic health or fun, fulfilling physical activity, but for women who look a certain part ― women who are most often slender, muscular but not so muscular as to seem “unfeminine,” and conventionally attractive in a modelesque way. So it was unexpected to see Tess Holliday’s body showcased on the cover ― and doubly so to see it alongside the headline “Tess Holliday’s Health Is None of Your Business.” As a fat acceptance … [Read more...] about In A World Of Watered-Down ‘Body Positivity,’ The Tess Holliday Self Cover Is A Radical Choice

Chili Chocolate Chip Is Top Choice at UMass Ice Cream Competition
AMHERST — The winning flavor in this year’s UMass Amherst student ice-cream competition is chili chocolate chip, as selected by judges in the fourth annual food-science event held on campus April 30. It will become the latest UMass student-created ice cream produced by Maple Valley Creamery of Hadley over the coming weeks, said owner Bruce Jenks. For the event, creamery staff, local chefs, and guest judges sampled original ice creams created by four teams of senior food-science majors vying for the honor of developing a new flavor for the UMass label. “This year we had a pretty clear winner,” Jenks said, but he complimented all four teams on their hard work, ambitious goals, and thinking outside the box. “This is the highlight of our spring at Maple Valley Creamery. We really appreciate the students’ enthusiasm and hard work.” Jenks said a new feature in this year’s competition, the use of Equal Exchange ingredients in the student ice … [Read more...] about Chili Chocolate Chip Is Top Choice at UMass Ice Cream Competition
