EP004 with the fabulous, Vinny Welsby AKA Fierce Fatty (they/them). In this episode, we dig deep into fatphobia to ask, “why are we so afraid of fat?” Diet culture is something we eat (no pun intended), sleep, and breathe, it’s in the commercials we see, the magazines we read, and in our workplaces and doctor’s offices. Unlearning takes courage but also raw and honest conversations about the relationship between fat and health, the psychology of dieting, and the role of business and politics in upholding these oppressive systems.
If you think about how much mental space you’ve given to thinking about your body and your weight, then you add those minutes up over your life, you’ve probably spent years of precious capacity worrying, trying to fix, and feeling unworthy. That’s why this conversation is so important because Vinnyis such an amazing force in self-acceptance.
