"Anti-fatness and fat-shaming are used most often as a way to inspire fear in others about being or becoming fat. In Fat and Furious: Igniting Radical Fat Resistance, scholar and therapist Breanne Fahs breaks down how the dread of fatness is used to control and capitalize on women’s fears of their unruly bodies and demonstrates how rejecting shame and instead igniting feelings of anger can help us collectively move towards justice. Weaving together the voices of fat people and activists with damning psychological and sociological evidence, Fahs argues that rage, or fat fury, becomes the necessary antidote to the resignation and powerlessness that anti-fatness so often generates. We caught up with her for a two-part chat. This is part two of two. Read part one."

"Beacon Press: What are some of the ways that people, especially those who claim to support fat justice, find themselves unintentionally engaging in anti-fat beliefs and practices?"

"Breanne Fahs: We’re all doing this in so many ways—big and small. There are so many interpersonal and interactive ways that this plays out. Complements about weight loss, making it clear that thinner is more desirable, parents “worrying” about their kids gaining weight (particularly in terms of securing a partner or making friends or being liked), clothes shopping discourses, restaurant discourses—and more!—are all areas where lots of anti-fat practices play out. We also have deeply held cultural beliefs about what fat people can do, what their bodies mean, and what they need."

"I recently did a review of news articles about Ozempic and Wegovy and found very, very few who ever bothered to interview fat people about their own bodies or experiences. We love to talk about fat people without talking to fat people. It is assumed that we know what the “fat experience” is without actually asking people."
