We're sort of, I don't know, trying to score points or having this debate, and very few of them...If I don't eat anything, I mean then they're going to and just living with that constant voice and it being constantly projected by our culture.
What if everything you thought you knew about obesity was wrong? In this eye-opening episode of 'The Addicted Mind Podcast', host Duane Osterlind sits down with Michael Hobbes, a writer for The Huffington Post and co-host of the 'You’re Wrong About…' podcast. Hobbes penned the influential article 'Everything You Know About Obesity is Wrong', which has sparked widespread conversation and controversy.

Hobbes shares stories from individuals who have felt guilt, shame, and sadness due to the way they are treated based on their body size. They discuss the failings of the diet industry and why a Health At Every Size (HAES) approach might be the key to a more accepting society.
With a focus on fat acceptance and the harmful effects of fatphobia, this conversation encourages listeners to rethink their attitudes towards weight and health. If you’ve ever felt judged for your body size or want to understand the real impact of weight stigma, this episode offers valuable insights and compassionate dialogue.
