Health at Every Size® is a paradigm that gives many people the information, permission, and support to leave dieting behind and change their focus from weight to holistic well-being. However, the focus on "health" in the movement is complicated by recent research and publications by Sabrina Strings in her book "Fearing the Black Body," and Da'Shaun L. Harrison's "Belly of the Beast" that link the genesis of anti-Blackness with anti-fatness. In this talk, I will present themes from these two texts around the definition of health, the link between anti-Blackness and anti-fatness, how holding "health" and its pursuit as central in the HAES® movement is making it exclusive of the most marginalized of us, and share about what we can start trying instead.
