Listen to our full radio programme here. This week, the theme of offence and body image continues: we hear from the woman who enraged the internet when she made a video called "Dear Fat People". It was viewed over 20 million times and led to an online backlash from people saying it was offensive and hurtful. Nicole Arbour talks to BBC Trending's Mukul Devichand and tells him why she feels her critics are missing the point.
