Anti-fatness is insidious, and we are intentionally misled about fatness and fat people which leads most of us on an all-consuming venture to shrink our bodies or make sure we don’t get fat in the first place. Join Suzy and Krista as they locate the reason for this misinformation in the context of systemic gaslighting that is pushing us toward weight loss while making many corporations and industries billions. Don’t forget to submit questions about sex, sexuality, and fat bodies for Krista (AKA Dr. Sexyfat) to answer in upcoming episodes! And If you’d like to support the show you can do so at patreon.com/fatandfuckedpodcast.

The Big Fat Lie, or the belief that fat is bad and thin is good, is pervasive and spawns countless other lies, beliefs, misunderstandings and misinterpretations across all facets of our society. Of course this has a huge impact on everyone, but especially fat folks living in a world structured around anti-fat bias. In this episode, Suzy and Krista illuminate some of the things we get wrong in a jamboree of replacing lies and misconception with complexity, and accuracy. Listen to the episode and give us a review!

What the f**k is “Fat and Fucked”? In the first episode, hosts Suzy Hooker and Dr. Krista Nabar lay the groundwork for moving toward a world in which fat liberation reigns supreme. They share their personal journeys away from dieting and shame and toward acceptance of their fat bodies. A brief history and evolution of the Fat Acceptance movement puts Fat Liberation in context. The hosts explore the inadequacies of the Body Positivity Movement, and establish Fat Liberation as the only way to address the systemic discrimination and oppression that fat folx experience everyday. Yes, fat folks experience oppression, and yes, it has to stop
