fat is the new black

Do you feel desperate and depressed due to the way people treat you because of your size? Do you even feel or have felt suercidal due to society's treatment of you?
BBC London's Inside Out want to hear from real people who have had real experiences of the last modern prejudice without protective laws.

As a large person, I bet there has been some kind of discrimination that you have either witnessed or suffered from.

How about doing something about it? Would you like to voice your opinion?

BBC London's Inside Out is looking in to size related discrimination in the UK.

To take part, you need to live int he BBC London catchment area.

This is a unique opportunity to voice what is wrong with the UK with relation to how 'fat people' are being treated. consider taking part in the filming.

A pro fat acceptance advocate from London will present and report the item. She is keen to progress the arguments of size acceptance to a wider audience. She is not a journalist - she just wants size discrimination to end. This will be her story.

We're looking for other people in the BBC London region, who might share their experiences of size discrimination or abuse with her and how awful it can get. We want to highlight the discrimination, how bad it is, the devestating consequences which it can have and the lack of legal protection. If someone really didn't want to be identified on camera, we might be able to consider hiding their identity.
