Episode 009: Health At Every Size is a movement that is growing in popularity. It was a movement largely shoved into the spotlight by Linda Bacon and her book Health At Every Size. The movement had been going on well before her but the book definitely gave it more attention than ever before.
In today’s podcast I want to look at what it is really about. I’m going to cover why I’m a supporter of a lot of what it teaches and promotes. I’m also going to look at some of the shortcomings or issues with it.
