Food Fails & Fatphobia

This was the episode we were dreading. We knew we had an episode of Brain Candy that was so bad we had to delete it entirely, but we didn't realize how bad it was until we unearthed this "lost" episode and listened to it again seven years later. Oy. It's bad. We were offensive, small-minded, ignorant, and fatphobic. And we had no idea we were even saying anything shocking. Today we discuss all of the things we got wrong about food, bodies, and fat. We share some of the reasons these prejudices and biases were part of our worldview, the impact of reality tv on our own body image, and the question of whether we should've been cancelled. It's a lot.
