14:17Now PlayingIn this segment of Dumpster Fire, host Bridget Phetasy delivers the receipts proving body positivity propaganda was everywhere for a decade. From Cosmopolitan's "This is Healthy" cover with morbidly obese models to cards patients used to avoid being weighed at the doctor, to UCLA Medical School requiring fat liberation studies, to Harvard and Stanford pushing "healthy at any size." Bridget compiles evidence from Disney kids' content, Fat Studies academic programs, The Atlantic questioning if obesity is unhealthy, and how corporate workers and doctors couldn't push back without consequences. Everyone's memory-holing it now, but the evidence is overwhelming.
