The Man Alive Debate: Is Fat a Feminist Issue?

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

According to Susie Orbach it is. She claims that as a result of her bestselling book, thousands of women have stopped being compulsive eaters and thrown away their diet sheets.

According to Weight Watchers, fat is not a feminist issue; fatness is the same problem for men and women and dieting is the best way to cope with it.

Susie Orbach, with Clair Chapman and Katina Noble of the Spare Tyre Theatre Group, meet Weight Watchers from the Midlands and North in the Grand Hotel, Manchester, to argue their case.
