What does it mean when a fat person goes for a run? What does it mean when a fat person eats a cupcake at 10am? Our implicit and explicit values around health influence how we perceive others; that perception can and does creep into our provision of healthcare. Join us to explore this topic through the archetypes of the Good Fatty and the Bad Fatty. We’ll begin by grounding our conversation in the definitions of health, healthism, and the Good and Bad Fatty. Then, we’ll dive into the ethical problems of the current sociopolitical environment for the provision of healthcare with a special focus on healthcare for the Bad Fatty. Lastly, we’ll consider what it means to be a Good Fatty or Bad Fatty in fat activism and Health at Every Size®-aligned care and what we can do to provide better care to all fat people.
