Have the new weight-loss drugs changed what it means to be body positive?

  • Resumen

  • America is a land of contradictions; while we're known as a nation that loves to eat, we also live within a culture that has long valued thinness as the utmost beauty standard.

    Over the last several years the body positivity movement has pushed back on that notion. But then came a new class of weight-loss drugs.

    New York Magazine contributing writer Samhita Mukhopadhyay grapples with the possible future of a movement like this in her recent article, So Was Body Positivity All A Big Lie?

    She joins All Things Considered host Juana Summers to discuss the ever-evolving conversation on health, size, and whose business that is in the first place.
