An analysis of the news representations of fat bodies in the last year has been completed by NAAFA which we will go over in today’s episode. Out of 19,000+ mentions of fatness in the news last year, how many are talking about weight loss, diets, and ill health, and how many focus on fat liberation and weight stigma? I also share my own traumatizing experience of being featured in the media which almost lead to my de@th. How fat people are represented in reporting is super important and I’ll share why and the state of where we're at today. TW: Mention of s*icide ideation
