My understanding is that my friend, author Carrie Arnold, and the founder of UK charity group Men Get Eating Disorders, Too, Sam Thomas, will also be taking part. I’m really...

Not just women. The corporations behind the diet industry have a vested interest in making everyone insecure about their weight and appearance, women are just more frequently targeted by advertising. In either case it’s a form of social control to make us...
