Description: We live in constant fear of obesity, a fear that accompanies guilt, frustration, and anxiety. In "Fatties", brave people speak openly about their secret world: how from early childhood they were exposed to abuse because of their weight; how their lives were run by pounds and calories; how years upon years of diets and medical procedures then injured their bodies and minds; and how they exist beneath this painful gaze, which sees them as defective. Their bare and clear voices offer an opening for hope, a possibility for a different society, one which refuses to obey the laws of dietary beauty and which respects the diversity of the human body.
