#86 Sarah Bocchino - The Body Positive Fantasy
Show Notes

Should cartoon mermaids have realistic body dimensions? What is realistic? While having a thin waist may be a fantasy for some, others fantasize about gaining healthy weight. Sarah tells us about her struggles with body image and her experiences with body positivity groups and how they've been ideologically captured by the notion that you can be healthy at any size, even morbidly obese. We discuss the nuances of what healthy is, what it certainly isn't, and why standardizing what "realistic" proportions looks like leaves a lot of people out of the picture.
