Virgie Tovar, the author of 'You Have the Right to Remain Fat" and other published works on "fat positivity and body acceptance" announced on her Instagram Monday that she was hired to consult for the department, calling the collaboration an "absolute dream come true."

"I'm unbelievably proud to serve the city I've called home for almost 20 years in this way!" she wrote. "This consultancy is an absolute dream come true, and it's my biggest hope and belief that weight neutrality will be the future of public health."

Tovar's website lists her as a "plus-size Latina author, lecturer, and leading expert on weight-based discrimination and body positivity with over a decade of experience." She is a contributor for Forbes, where she covers stories on the "plus size market." Her most recent articles include features about hosting a "size inclusive" Thanksgiving and alleged "fatphobia" in current TV shows.
