Chewing the Facts: Weighing up NZ's silent discrimination

It’s hard to go through life in the 21st century without hearing daily about exercise, dieting and healthy eating.

But what if everything we know about obesity, weight and ‘fatness’ is wrong? 

That’s what the NZ Herald is exploring in a new podcast series from journalist Sasha Borissenko. In Chewing the Facts, Borissenko sets out to debunk a lot of the myths in Aotearoa, with some surprising insights from experts and those with lived experiences.  

Sasha Borissenko shares what she has learnt about the things that weigh us down.
