About this Quote

In this quote, Gwyneth Paltrow is explaining an experience where she wore a "fat suit" and headed out in public. The purpose of this was most likely to gain a much better understanding of what it seems like to be obese and how individuals deal with those who are. Paltrow confesses to feeling nervous about being "discovered," implying that she hesitated of people recognizing that she was not actually obese. Nevertheless, she was surprised to find that no one even made eye contact with her. This lack of acknowledgement and invisibility distressed her, perhaps highlighting the discrimination and bias dealt with by those who are obese.
