Let’s unpack our fear of fatness

Posted on 31 July 202231 July 2022 by Jaya Prisco

Athena Nair speaks about fatphobia, diet culture, and body positivity in her TEDx Talk. She draws from her own personal experiences and her work with The Body Positive to explore the pervasiveness of fatphobia in our lives. She unpacks the history of the BMI, discrimination against fat folks in the medical industry and beyond, and offers a first step to opt out of diet culture: radical self-love.
