Unshrinking: Kate Manne on Fatphobia and its Effects on Alyssa Milano: Sorry Not Sorry
Listen here.
“What does it mean when other people feel entitled to our bodies? This is the reality that larger people have to deal with every day. From cruel comments online to fatshaming from well-meaning friends, relatives, and medical professionals, fat people navigate in a world where it is somehow socially acceptable to behave this way. Kate Manne argues for a better way. She is an associate professor of philosophy at Cornell University and an award-winning writer. Her new book, Unshrinking: How to Face Fatphobia, is now available.”

Tracy is around this blog less often these days and she’s off writing at her new blog, Vegan Practically.
If you are trying out Veganuary and you’re wondering about meal planning, check out her post Vegan Meal Planning: Three Ways.
Tracy writes, “Sometimes the biggest obstacle to eating well (and by “well” I mean “vegan, nutritionally adequate, and tasty”) is not having ingredients on hand to support our efforts. I’m into easy planning. I am not the one who maps it all out in advance and sets Sunday aside for prepping the week’s meals. Instead, I have a rough idea of what I want to do for my breakfasts, lunches, and dinners for the coming week and I make sure I have what I need in my pantry, refrigerator, and freezer.
There are, of course, different ways to meal plan and they range in specificity from offering a very detailed meal plan, to providing general guidelines, to my way of have a rough sense of what the week’s meals will look like. In what follows I’ll talk about each approach and its pros and cons.”
