Depictions of Weight in Media with Dalin Rowell

Depictions of weight in media are notoriously unhealthy, from unrealistic body-image to negative characterization of people who are larger or heavyset. Dallin Rowell joins the show to discuss the role of heavier weights in story and characters, the fat-advocacy movement, and specific examples of movies & television and how they present "fat" people.
