How science, history and culture drive our obsession with weight and what we can do about it
Syracuse University professor and author, Harriet Brown addresses our cultural obsession with weight and what led her to write the book, "Body of Truth -- How Science, History and Culture Drive our Obsession with Weight and What We Can Do About It." She says we need to 1. stop fat talking about ourselves, 2. realize that being thin does not mean one is healthy, just as being fat does not mean one is unhealthy, and 3. take our emphasis off of peoples' appearances.
