How does TikTok and a juice cleanse lead to a war over a fat woman’s body?
A heated debate broke out last December over Lizzo’s juice cleanse, with members of the body positive and fat liberation communities sharing their outrage. 
Lizzo is a fat, black woman. By simply existing, Lizzo inherently challenges the norms of the music industry, and like Mama Cass, Adele, and Kanye West, everyone has an opinion on her fat body.
This week, we’re breaking down fatphobia in the music industry by learning about the radical and political differences between the fat acceptance, body positivity and fat liberation movements over the decades. And, we’re joined by writer Patricia DeLuca who’s been fighting anti-fat bias in the music industry since the 90s, and started her own website Strutter to call out fatphobia in pop culture.
