DIETING: At War
with our Bodies is
a revealing documentary that gives voice to those who resist
the notion that the human body, in all its variations, must concede
to cultural or clinical ideals. From a group of aspiring nondieters
to a divergent obesity researcher, DIETING: At War with our
Bodies hears from people attempting to abandon a culture
that idealizes the thin, congratulates the dieter and demoralizes
the fat. Not an easy personal or political task in the face of
prevailing attitudes toward fat within the media, the health
community and their peers.
DIETING: At War
with our Bodies
defies the dominant diet culture, suggesting that we reclaim
health, not weight loss, as our lifestyle change goal and let
the fat fall where it may. |
