Venting About Fat Shaming - Skeptical Thinker

What this episode covers

So...I know we promised to talk about our favorite quotes on this episode, and we fully planned on it, but sometimes things happen that take us down a different road. Today, Leah and Jamie spend a bit of quality time trying to dispel the way body image plays such a negative role in our everyday lives. Jamie spends some time relaying a situation at work where the current event of the day was the "Obesity Epidemic," and pandemonium broke out between the adults in the room. While there is some credibility to the science of unhealthy weight, there are so many little strands of complexity to the issue of weight and body image, and some of it hearkens back to our episode about Food Insecurity and Racial Justice. With so many people struggling with body image - not just fat shaming - a new way to approach humans should be with more kindness and support! Hope you enjoy!
