In my own personal life, I know way more fat people with eating disorders than thin people. My theory about this is that they can see themselves doing something like that. So they feel more aligned with the person doing the thing that feels to me like a violation. And also the effect of that on fat people is absolutely gaslight.
To celebrate the release of her new book, Aubrey takes Mike on a tour through the statistics and debates surrounding weight bias. Anyone interested in body positivity, airline seats, 'skinny shaming' or the sugar content of melons is legally obligated to join us.
