Once again, she had sort of like, you know, changed her body.

And this is the iteration that we're seeing today.

Yeah.

I think it shaped this idea that we are sort of never enough, that with all that Oprah has accomplished, and she's accomplished quite a bit.

She is a billionaire.

She has been a kingmaker.

She has been the top influencer.

And yet this is something that she feels has really kept her from achieving peak status, being thin, being skinny.

And I think it sets the

this standard that is sort of unachievable for a lot of people that you can do everything in the world, but if you're not thin, it kind of won't matter.

Well, I think we have these certain ways that we project on what disease means and what kind of level of care you should get or what kind of level of attention you should get or what kind of stigma you should get too.

We've done this when it comes to AIDS or HIV, the way that we look at different diseases in society that affects how you might be treated.

And so I think that shifting that language is a part of the way of

if I'm giving people the benefit of the doubt, like trying to attack fatphobia and say like, oh, it's not their fault.

And I might say that it sort of takes away the joy that we all get from food.

Like who hasn't been to a birthday party or a wedding and asked, when are they cutting the cake?

You know, there's something that we all get when we gather together and consume food at holidays, at parties, at group outings, that is very joyful and very human.

And to sort of strip that away, to sort of force people to only think about food as just a mode of survival and not a part of our humanity, I think robs people of their ability to live their lives fully and freely.

This is going to sound so bad, but I feel like it's another layer of aspiration and exclusion that her audience feeds off.

She, throughout the years, has always presented objects to us that we should aspire to either buy or obtain or have, whether it's clothes or cars or designers or whatever it is, books even.
