Hi, I'm Ethan Sopli, welcome to American Glutton.

Outside of acting, my two favorite things to do are diet and eat.

I have a very complicated relationship with food and on this podcast we're going to talk about all of it.

Food is entertainment, food is sport, food as fuel.

I'll talk to experts and the average person just like you and me.

I hate to ask you to do anything, but if you're enjoying the show, please take a moment to like, subscribe, rate, review, all of the above on whatever app you're getting it from.

Ladies and gentlemen, this week on the show we have a real treat for you, a two-parter with the man, the myth, the legend.

Dr. Mike Isretel, that's right, he's back for two episodes.

I have been struggling myself personally with the ideas in the healthy and every size movement.

So Mike and I break it down. This week you get the pros.

Next week you get the cons. Stay tuned.

Dr. Mike Isretel, welcome to the American Glutton podcast. Ethan, thank you so much for having me on.

I have been battling with myself this idea of healthy and every size.

I never really thought about it and I saw this article in Cosmopolitan magazine, which I didn't even read, but there was a picture of a big gal and it said this is healthy.

Unfortunately, to me that just read her obesity is healthy and I suddenly had a lot of different ideas about this.

And I reached out to a number of people in the healthy and every size community.

None of them wanted to talk to me. I think because my show is called American Glutton, so they might think I'm automatically demeaning them by using the word glutton, though I'm not.

Anyway, you have pros and cons that I want to talk to you about.

Did they know that you were formally variobees? Did you present yourself as that?

Yes, I actually just didn't get a response from the three gals that I reached out to.

And these are kind of well known in the industry sort of that community.
