Abstract/Description

Fat-shaming is seen as the last "acceptable" form of discrimination. Many people think just because someone is larger, that means they're unhealthy. This isn't always the case. This presentation hopes to teach people that weight doesn't always equate to health, and there are many underlying factors why some people may not fit American society's ideal body type.
