Being a Bad Martha - Body Shaming and Fat

Episode Description from the Publisher

Kimberly Rockwell, Dawn "Sam" Alden, and Lauren Torres talk about what it feels to walk through life as a woman in a large body, what feedback women receive about their bodies, and how the current emphasis on thin bodies to the exclusion of everything else can destroy us both from within and without.

Why don't we understand more about what really affects our body size? And why does it freaking matter anyway???
