From the time of the Victorians to the time of the Kardashians, there's always been a body type that's been "in." The only problem? It's always changing.
In this episode, we talk to Dr. Katharina Vester of American University about the origins of body ideals and how they have impacted society and culture over time. Having a six pack used to mean you were broke? Only men were allowed to watch their weight? The surprising history of dieting and our bodies.
