OUTTAKE: Iris Williams from "Soul Food Junkies"

Body-shaming and fat phobia is real in America. Watch this outtake from #SoulFoodJunkies that features Iris Williams bravely sharing her deeply personal story about her life-long struggle with obesity and how she overcame it. When you watch, I encourage you to think about a few things: How can we discuss obesity in our families in positive and constructive ways...and is that important? Can we end fat-shaming and encourage healthy living at the same time? Why do so many people equate being slimmer with being healthy? Let's talk about this. Share your comments here. Tell us what do you think? #SoulFoodJunkies is streaming now on PBS Video: http://bit.ly/sfjpbsvideo
