Being fat is not a sin, but, argues Shelley Bovey, most overweight women are made to feel otherwise.
Expand description
Shelley Bovey exposes the damaging nature of fat discrimination in all its forms, and reveals that this is a greater threat to a woman's physical and mental health than any of the medical risks associated with being fat. She puts tough questions to top surgeons, "dieticians" and others with a vested interest in women who wanted to be thinner and she talks to doctors who confess that prejudice rather than scientific fact prompts them to condemn fat women as "unhealthy".
