NOTES: |
This program introduces eighth ordinary people who tell, in a chillingly matter of fact way about their life scarring and even severely life threatening experiences with body weight and self image. Bouts with eating disorders are described in detail, as well as deep feelings of hurt, anger, alienation, and utter hopelessness. Fear of fat provides penetrating insights into society's unhealthy focus on thinness and the toll in mental and physical suffering that such cultural fixation exacts. |
