Voice all these stories about obesity, and we're not asking obese people to talk about obesity, just as we do not ask homeless people to talk about homelessness in news stories. Not every news story about homelessness lacks a homeless person's voice, but many-many do. So, in UTS funded study of media images of obesity, Phillip Mills and I demonstrated that overweight and obese people are much more likely to be portrait without their heads or their faces than healthy weight people. This is another way of excluding fat people from the in-Group, us. The exception is the biggest loser, where which allows a very large people to tell their own stories. Although, we also found that presenters and trainers were more likely to have their quotations present in an episode of the biggest loser than the voices of the contestants.

Printed "listened", the speaker says "news"

Explanation: Listen for "news story about homelessness". On the page you see "listened" instead.

Printed "pictures", the speaker says "images"

Explanation: You will hear "images of obesity". Both words start with different letters, so listen to the start of the word.

Printed "presented", the speaker says "portrait"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "portrait without their heads". You see "presented" on the page, but wait for the whole word.

Printed "initerest", the speaker says "exception"

Explanation: Listen again to "exception is the biggest loser". The printed "initerest" makes no sense here, so click it on the page.

Printed "followers", the speaker says "presenters"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "presenters and trainers were". They start with different letters, so listen to the start of the word.

Printed "ideas", the speaker says "voices"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "voices of the contestants". You see "ideas" on the page, but the spoken word begins with a different letter.

"obesity" matches the audio
