“On a personal level, (HFEB) makes individuals more accepting of themselves by introducing the fallacies that surround weight and health. By calling into question commonly held beliefs on weight, this course brings to light the prejudices that permeate society. It forces us to recognize and reconcile these judgments within ourselves.”
