Sarai Walker (2015) | Radical Fat Acceptance

One of the last bastions of acceptable discrimination is against
fat people. Health arguments reinforce the social and cultural
pressure to avoid fatness at all costs. But is it
possible to imagine things differently and help women to escape
from the complex web of body image, food and weight
concerns?
