The New York Times on how restaurant systems, training and design can serve to exclude plus-size guests and the activist efforts pushing for more inclusive spaces.

“For people who identify as large, plus-size or fat, dining out can be a social and physical minefield. Chairs with arms or impossibly small seats leave marks and bruises. Meals are spent in pain, or filled with worry that a flimsy chair might collapse.”
