What's Wrong with Fat?: The War on Obesity and its Collateral Damage
Saguy, Abigail (Associate Professor of Sociology, Associate Professor of Sociology, UCLA)
What's Wrong with Fat? examines the social implications of understanding fatness as a medical health risk, disease, and epidemic. Examining the ways in which debates over fatness have developed, Abigail Saguy argues that the obesity crisis literally makes us fat, intensifies negative body image, and justifies weight-based discrimination.
