The Fat of the Land - a solo episode about looks, weight, beauty standards and dignity

Among other things, I speak about:

• Body obsessions both on the Right and Left.

• The Right Wing perspective of aesthetics as embodied worship of nature beyond the intellect.

• Our food environment, as a mine field of limbic traps.

• Eating disorders as adaptations to the environment.

• The 90s and 2000s diet culture.

• Ozempic and the morality of easy weight loss.

• The scale as the “Roman Empire” of many a millennial woman.

• Finicky beauty ideals that “men don’t care about.”

• Treading the line between the lies of Healthy at Any Size and thinking about your looks 24/7.

• The fact that you don’t owe people attraction, but you might owe them dignity
