Unpacking The Way We Talk About Weight
“Fat is a feminist issue,” says Dr. Ali Zentner.
In our inaugural episode of Group Chat, editor-in-chief Maureen Halushak is joined by Zentner, an internal medicine and obesity specialist, and television personality Tracy Moore to talk about the bias surrounding weight, dieting and obesity treatment.
Also in this episode, deputy food editor Chantal Braganza and senior style editor Andréanne Dion join the chat to discuss how the media—including Chatelaine—has perpetuated weight bias in the past.
A special thank you to our launch partner Eli Lilly Canada
