"Fear and hatred of fat has very little to do with the health risks associated with being "overweight" and "obese" (which are wholly imaginary and highly exaggerated, respectively), and everything to do with the symbolic meanings that thin and fat bodies have in this culture."Excuse me? How can "overweight" and "obese" be "wholly imaginary and highly exaggerated, respectively" ?

I wondered that, too. Makes no sense. Imaginary? No.
