Episode notes

Harvard has these implicit bias tests, which millions of people have taken. And what they found was that anti-fat bias was significantly on the rise. About 80% of us have bias against fat people and in favor of thin people. Fat people are regularly fired or denied jobs altogether because we're not the image of the company.

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.
