In this second episode we discuss the &amp;#39;Body positivity movement&amp;#39; and how it has changed the way bodies are viewed, accepted and criticised. We talk about how social media has skewed the perception of what is healthy, beautiful and ideal. We explore issues of beauty standards within the modern world and then wander off to discuss mukbangs, eating disorders and heaven knows what else! Hope you enjoy!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Body positivity is a social movement focused on the acceptance of all bodies, regardless of size, shape, skin tone, gender, and physical abilities, while challenging present-day beauty standards as an undesirable social construct. Proponents focus on the appreciation of the functionality and health of the human body, instead of its physiological appearance.&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>
