  • Just “wait”!

    I’m rather skeptical of the “expert”’s opinions in the episode about weight. While I agree that “fat-shaming” is cruel and unproductive, there are several seeming problems with her ideas.

Also, she says that people who are overweight but “healthy” live longer, but how is “health” defined? Diet? Exercise? Lastly, it’s not like d... more

When we grow to understand humans and their interconnectedness, we expand in such an important way. And with every episode I listen to there is some degr... more
