ISAA's Official Statement Regarding The "Shallow Hal" Movie ISAA supports the efforts to promote size acceptance in the movie "Shallow Hal." While ISAA recognizes that there is room for improvement in "Shallow Hal," the overall theme the movie embraces is one of acceptance for people of all shapes, sizes, ages, ethnicities and abilities. ISAA encourages the Size Acceptance Movement and the general public to make an informed choice about "Shallow Hal's" size acceptance content before condemning the movie. ISAA believes that the only way to make an informed choice about this is to see the movie. ISAA Presentations on Healthy Body Imagery The International Size Acceptance Association (ISAA) now has online presentations designed for businesses, universities and individuals. These presentations serve the purpose of informing the public about size issues, healthy body imagery, fitness and health for all sizes and specifics about ISAA's Mission, Goals and Policies. ISAA also hopes to dispel some common myths about obesity and size-related issues.
