Manage episode 395519150 series 2321383
Is there an obesity crisis? Is TV and social media fatphobic? Is public health information wrong about being fat? Did the war on obesity work? Why was there a war on obesity? Why do people hate fat people? Does social media and tv still represent old problematic beliefs that aren't actual science? Why should we be careful trusting fatphobic public figures? Why should obesity be a social justice issue?
*retraction/correction: 7min 10 seconds the BMI DOES change with age
Guru Shabd, LMFT and Tresla, Advocate and Public Speaker get into this with collected peer reviewed journal research and even more passion than before.
