Winner of the 2010 Distinguished Publication Award from the Association for Women in PsychologyWinner of the 2010 Susan Koppelman Award for the Best Edited Volume in Women's Studies from the Popular Culture AssociationWe have all seen the segments on television news shows: A fat person walking on the sidewalk, her face out of frame so she can't be identified, as some disconcerting findings about the obesity epidemic stalking the nation are read by a disembodied voice. From the government, health industry, diet industry, news media, and popular culture we hear that we should all be focused on our weight. And we have seen the movies--their obvious lack of large leading actors silently speaking volumes.
Or is it just another form of prejudice--one with especially dire consequences for many already But is this national obsession with weight and thinness good for us?
