Description
The author "traces the evolution of anti-fat ideology and of the businesses that profit from it. She shows how the glorification of emaciation serves the beauty, fitness, fashion, diet, food, and even the health-care industries, and how the media's vicious vilification of 'fat chicks' guarantees that women will frantically keep spending money on products that promise escape from the stigma."--Jacket.Tags
