About this listen

Fatphobia affects more than social interactions; it can also interfere with access to proper health care. So where do stigmas against larger bodies originate, and what can we learn from the space between diet culture and body positivity?

On this episode of On Nutrition, award-winning podcast host and self-described “body sociologist” Ronald Young Jr. examines his own experience at the doctor’s office, the rise of the “What I Eat in a Day” trend, and what people really mean when they use the word “healthy.”
