Regarding this media project: If you've already signed and shared the change. org petition asking First Lady Michelle Obama to NOT appear on The Biggest Loser but instead engage with professionals working to end weight-based bullying (proportionally, more people of color are fat so it's a race/ethnicity issue too!)
