26. Boris' BMI shaming, pregnancy body image and 'big' friendships

This week, the government's plans to combat obesity have got us talking about our relationships with food, from emotional to disordered - and why we don't think calorie counts on menus will solve anything. 

Plus, Frankie's sharing the surprising impact that pregnancy has had on her body image, Charlie's realising that lockdown has made her less able to compromise, and we're sharing our tips for the best films, TV shows, books and articles this week - all over a glass of fancy Duskin apple juice for Frankie and a Tucci-approved negroni for Charlie.
