A Celebration Of Size
Why do we in the West equate beauty with being thin, and can we change these stereotypes?
In some African cultures, fat is revered, but in the West, 'you can never be too rich or too thin.' Shelley Bovey, editor of new book Sizeable Reflections, and agony aunt Gladeana McMahon join the show to discuss the obsession with size.
Also on the programme: A New Zealand woman explains how she came to terms with being big and learned to love it. Plus, why are men so bad at good health?
