Fatphobia

The Daily Radical: A Social Justice Podcast

Today we are speaking with Yesenia Guadalupe on Fatphobia. Fatphobia is our society’s fear of being fat, which leads to the discrimination, isolation, and marginalization of fat people.

Join us a we dive deep into the origins of fatphobia, the difference between body positivity and fat liberation, and how capitalism benefits from our fear of fatness (hint: when we are divided, we are easier to control).

As always, our discussion is based in both lived experience and research. Here are some of the resources we mention in this episode:

• Fearing the Black Body: The Racial Origins of Fat Phobia by Sabrina Strings
• Moving Toward the Ugly: A Politic Beyond Desirability by Mia Mingus
• Everything You Know About Obesity is Wrong by Michael Hobbes

Don’t forget to subscribe, and let us know what you think. We are so excited to discuss these experiences with y’all. In the meantime, stay raddie baddies!
