First Person, Plural on CFUV-fm, Victoria, BC 
Originally aired January 16, 2003

A regular listener to First Person Plural might think that our stance on science and medicine is a negative one, that we do not support scientific research as an important endeavour.  Nothing can be further from the truth.  What we are most disappointed with is bad science and junk medical advice.  People's lives are damaged and cut short from such science.  This week we join Francie Berg in celebrating Health Weight Week and ask you to consider alternative points of view on weight loss, fatness and dieting.  Below are some links that can help you with that journey.  We didn't concentrate on the science as much as the culture, but if you investigate these links, you'll find great information about the problems with obesity research as well as the possibility of fat acceptance and fat positive spaces.
