| New Jersey Governor Chris Christie may be out of the presidential race, but the criticism about his weight has drawn attention to the stigma surrounding weight and body image. After eight, Joy Cardin's guests say the criticism was unfair . . . and all too common for overweight and obese Americans.
Guests:
- Paul Campos (COMP-ose), Professor of Law, University of Colorado. Advisory board member, National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance. Author, "The Obesity Myth: Why America's Obsession with Weight is Hazardous to Your Health." His piece on the topic: http://wpr.org/r/?632
- Amy Farrell, Professor of American Studies and Women's and Gender Studies at Dickinson College in Pennsylvania, and author of "Fat Shame: Stigma and the Fat Body in American Culture" |
