What is fat phobia (and why should you care)?

What is fat phobia (and why should you care)?

Fat phobia is the fear and dislike of fat or larger bodies. It’s irrational, unjust, and often expressed in damaging ways. In fact, weight stigma is associated with several negative outcomes for people in larger bodies, including decreased opportunity in employment, income, education, housing, and medical care. The mental health impacts are also well documented: increased stress, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem – all of which are also risk factors for eating disorders. In our new episode we unpack fat phobia, hear firsthand from award-winning writers Megan and Karyn, and the wildly popular “Bodzilla”, April, about how they have experienced it. We also hear from Dr. Xochitl dela Piedad Garcia of ACU about what the research has to say about weight discrimination, and from Georgie, an ally, about how she is addressing thin privilege to support a much-needed change in perspective.
