FOOD FIGHT: RFK Jr's MAHA vs Fat Fluencers

from Chan’s Mouth · host Manila Chan

Americans have always had a love-hate relationship with food. We eat too much of it, and not the best kind; as high as 75% of Americans are considered obese. Yet our popular culture lionizes models and actors so painfully thin many of them suffer from anorexia. The latest attempt by the body-positivity movement to fight fat-shaming comes in the form of online “fat-fluencers,” one of whom has been hired by San Francisco as its weight stigma czar. Meanwhile, HHS nominee RFK Jr. is going after Big Food on the grounds that they’re inhibiting his drive to Make America Healthy Again. Co-hosts Ted Rall and Manila Chan investigate these latest developments in our national Food Fight.
