Liveline
CMAT and Body Shaming

Unfortunately, I'd say I'm not surprised at all.

Liveline
CMAT and Body Shaming

I feel like weight stigma and talking about weight

Liveline
CMAT and Body Shaming

is one of those things that's just so deeply rooted and ingrained in the world that we live in.

Liveline
CMAT and Body Shaming

And I think if you look at other things like, you know, race, gender, sexuality, we've learned that stigmatizing and shaming people for that is not okay.

Liveline
CMAT and Body Shaming

But with weight, it's one of those things, it's still really normalized that we comment on that and we shame people for that.

Liveline
CMAT and Body Shaming

So as much as I'm horrified by it, because I'm a huge Seema fan, I'm going to see her tomorrow and I think she's amazing.

Liveline
CMAT and Body Shaming

I'm not surprised at all because it's happening day in, day out, especially to women.

Liveline
CMAT and Body Shaming

And like I know the guys on there are talking about the trolls and the very venomous comments, but there's subtle things that happen every day around weight, people commenting on your weight.

Liveline

expressing their opinions and views on weight.

Liveline
CMAT and Body Shaming

And it's a really entrenched, ingrained, like horrible thing that people have to experience day in, day out in the world that we live in.

Liveline
CMAT and Body Shaming

So unfortunately, to me, not surprising.

Liveline
CMAT and Body Shaming

You know, I think it's a societal thing.

Liveline
CMAT and Body Shaming

I think we tie weight to worth, first of all.

Liveline
CMAT and Body Shaming

So with women, it's this idea you have to look a certain way.

Liveline
CMAT and Body Shaming

And we see that across the board with women, the way they look, their bodies, everything like that, the way they dress, that's all commented on.

Liveline
CMAT and Body Shaming

And then I think there's this idea of tying weight to health.

Liveline
CMAT and Body Shaming

And that's the reason why I think it's become a bit more normalized.

Liveline
CMAT and Body Shaming

Well, we're just saying it because we care about your health.

Liveline
CMAT and Body Shaming

But we also know from a lot of research that lots of different body sizes can be healthy, right?
