We know that ever woman wants to be thin. Our images of womanhood are almost synonymous with thinness.

Fat people are so rarely included in visual culture that fat is perceived as a blot on the landscape of sleek and slim.

Mothers unconsciously allow more latitude to sons, and open encouragement, and with daughters they treat them as they would treat themselves.

Celebrity culture is something that pains me.

When they took TV to Fiji they found that after 3 years nearly 12 girls out of 100 were over the toilet bowls with bulimia because they felt inferior.

Today, 'fat' has become not a description of size but a moral category tainted with criticism and contempt.

I'm the sort of person who likes to undo everything.
