The Stuff of 2013: The Rise of the Fat Girl Food Squad

Way back at the beginning of 2013, Ama Scriver and Yuli Scheidt were two of The Little Red Umbrella's most prolific contributors. They covered the food and drink scene here in Toronto, with exceptionally good taste and gorgeous photos. A year later, they're basking in even more success after launching their very own media empire: the Fat Girl Food Squad. In addition to their fantastic work covering the local scene, they've now got teams in cities all over the continent. Even as far away as Australia. It's an impressive feat they've pulled off in less than 12 months. And they've managed to create something that's more than just your traditional food blog. As they describe it themselves on their website, it's really about people. "Both care about people. Care about people eating good food, about them feeling good inside their bodies, mentally and physically... We're not just a girl gang, there's a Fat Girl living in everyone. Underweight, overweight, male, female. HUMANS!" The growth of FGFS has been an inspiring thing to watch in 2013. And we're looking forward to seeing what they're able to do in 2014.
