In this episode, Aaron and Glenys talk about the reaction to the mannequin, both good and bad, how promoting obesity is not actually "a thing", and the role that internalized weight stigma may have played in this reaction.  Show notes: We're not linking to the original article because it's bias AF, and you can google the Tanya Gold article.
