New Year, same Alan! Rabbi Minna Bromberg calls in from Jerusalem to talk about the bible's attitude towards fatness, what it means to live in a society that values fat people less, shaming at the holiday table, and whether or not good health is a sign of moral virtue.

Rabbi Minna Bromberg is the founder of Fat Torah. Her new book Every Body Beloved courtesy of Wayne State University Press is available now. https://bookshop.org/lists/every-body-beloved
