fatphobia

"In western society, fatphobia and anti-fatness are so ingrained in how we think about body size, health and self-worth," said Katherine Metzelaar, dietitian and owner at Bravespace Nutrition.

Fatphobia is undoubtedly pernicious, and we believe that its perils are broader than generally recognized.

These diseases, due to fatphobia, are too often assumed to affect only people with visible fat, so today’s Health at Every Size movement tries to address this issue by suggesting that all body types can be healthy.

But in a world where weight has become a cheap heuristic for health, fatphobia threatens us all.
