About this episode

Kaitlyn discusses recent media pieces related to body positivity and influencer culture.

Two horrible pieces of media have come out in the last month that we have to discuss. The NYT Opinion piece, "Confessions of a Former Body Positivity Influencer," and the Mike Tyson Superbowl ad for realfood.gov. Ugh. Let's chat.
