Jan 15 2024 60 mins   1

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?
