A closer look at this so-called epidemic, however, suggests that there are multiple perspectives on the fat body, not all of which view obesity as a health hazard. Alongside public health officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are advertisers of the fashion-beauty complex, food industry advocates at the Center for Consumer Freedom, and activists at the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance. Framing Fat takes a bird's-eye view of how these multiple actors construct the fat body by identifying the messages these groups put forth, particularly where issues of beauty, health, choice and responsibility, and social justice are concerned. Samantha Kwan and Jennifer Graves examine how laypersons respond to these conflicting messages and illustrate the gendered, raced, and classed implications within them. In doing so, they shed light on how dominant ideas about body fat have led to the moral indictment of body nonconformists, essentially 'framing' them for their fat bodies."--Publisher's website. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Obesity|xSocial aspects|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2010104108|zUnited States|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n78095330-781|xHistory.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99005024 650 0 Food habits|zUnited States|xHistory.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2008120942 650 0 Body image|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85015249|zUnited States.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities /names/n78095330-781 650 7 Obesity|xSocial aspects.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1042759 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Food habits.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/930807 650 7 Body image.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/835344 651 7 United States.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204155 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 700 1 Graves, Jennifer,|d1983-|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n2012064374|eauthor. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aKwan, Samantha.|tFraming fat.|dNew Brunswick, New Jersey : Rutgers University Press, [2013] |z9780813560922|w(DLC) 2012033362|w(OCoLC)812791686 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=563329|zOnline eBook.
