Summaries

What's wrong with the ways we relate to our bodies, to others' bodies, and to food-and what can we do about it? Through the testimony and creative work of a group of college students, this 40-minute documentary examines body and beauty ideals, body image, body dissatisfaction, eating disorders, steroid abuse, cosmetic surgery, our cultural fear and hatred of fat, anti-fat prejudice, and inequalities related to the U.S. food system.—Lisa Tillmann, Director, Off the Menu
