What The Actual Fork Podcast

Shownotes Transcript

Jenna's recent social media post addressing weight-stigma and fatphobia is causing a stir on Instagram, but TikTok's reaction? Well, let's just say it's not exactly making waves. Sam couldn't even find it! It's like TikTok's hit the mute button on conversations challenging fatphobia and advocating for awareness about weight stigma. And that’s before we even begin to break down the content of the video itself, which Sam and Jenna use as a jumping off point for a discussion about how folks in larger bodies get sidelined in so many ways, beyond just the obvious stuff. We close out by offering a few ways we can all challenge and reframe our own thinking around fatphobia and weight stigma.
