The Assignment with Audie Cornish

Just a few years ago, ‘body positivity’ was everywhere. Then came Ozempic. Audie talks with Virginia Sole-Smith, who spent the past decade writing about ‘diet culture.’ She weighs in on the future of the body positivity in an Ozempic world, and whether the movement and the revolutionary new class of weight loss drugs can coexist. 

Virginia Sole Smith’s book is called “Fat Talk: Parenting in the Age of Diet Culture.”
