Great podcast

This podcast is excellent. It has so massively changed the way i consider and approach diet culture

Bringing down everyone now

I love this podcast for the hosts ability to critique and showcase the challenges we, (larger people) have to live with. I’ve been wary and now disappointed that well intended people are being targeted. I’m from an audience outside America so I realise we don’t all know how it works in the US, but making a British chef look the villain is not cool.

We ‘thins’ all need to hear this

Telling everyone I know (and even some I don’t) to listen to this podcast. Mike and Aubrey are both so smart — and so funny (which is good because sometimes they deal with some pretty dark subject matter). They are giving me language to express years-long discomfort with the way society treats bodies and (I hope) helping me become a better straight-size person as I confront the anti-fat bias within me.
