But as her 2009 book Bodies points out, males too are susceptible to the pressures of being thin and the rampant commercialisation of the body. Whether it is the fashion, media, music, food, diet or fitness industries - there is no room for "fat". Susie Orbach is attending the Auckland Writers Festival in May.

"We might have brown skin and we might have curly hair but we're all supposed to kind of look exactly the same way, and that's a very disturbing event.
"It's like we've become kind of commodities for ourselves rather than bodies that we live from."

Al Vernacchio: changing the way we talk to teens about sex
BODY:
Al Vernacchio is a US based Sexuality educator, consultant and author. He says many of us are getting it very wrong in the way we talk to teens about sex. First, he says, is the problem with the language around sex - which is riddled with sporting metaphors like "scoring" which he says frames sex as a competition, with a winner and a loser. The second issue, is what he calls the disaster model, where sex education starts from a place where sex is seen as a dangerous thing -with terrible consequences. Al Vernacchio has lectured, published articles, and held workshops throughout the US on sexuality topics. He has given TED Talks, and his blog, "For Goodness Sex", can be found on the Psychology Today website. He is the author of For Goodness Sex: Changing the Way We Talk to Young People About Sexuality, Values, and Health published by Harper-Collins. He teaches at Friends' Central School in Wynnewood, Pensylvannia.

New Zealand's prehistoric polar forests
BODY:
A team of Australian and New Zealand fossil hunters on a National Geographic expedition spent weeks scouring sites in Marlborough and on the Chatham Islands for remnants of prehistoric polar forests.
EXTENDED BODY:
A team of Australian and New Zealand fossil hunters on a National Geographic expedition spent weeks scouring sites in Marlborough and on the Chatham Islands for remnants of prehistoric polar forests. They returned with big fossil-bearing boulders that tell a story of lush vegetation and warm climates, almost a hundred million years ago.
Millions of years ago, Antarctica was not the barren whiteness we know today. Instead, the continent was cloaked in thriving forests, whose fossilised remains are now buried in rocks beneath the ice.
But to get a glimpse of these prehistoric polar forests in the fossil record, one only needs to travel back in geology far enough to a time when Antarctica, New Zealand and Australia were all still part of the southern supercontinent Gondwana.
Expedition leader Chris Mays, a palaeontologist at Monash University in Melbourne, says the sites the team visited in New Zealand are treasure troves of fossil remains of ancient polar forests from a time when dinosaurs roamed the world.
The team returned with several large boulders bearing fossilised leaves and stems of trees that are more than 90 million years old. On the Chathams, they found what Chris Mays describes as the mother lode – a “whole surface of a forest floor still preserved”.
You can see the spacing of the trees, he says, in a densely packed forest, with some stumps that still show well preserved tree rings.
The fossil-bearing boulders have been shipped to Melbourne for further study, but a first examination reveals different species of conifer, today represented by kauri, some early flowering plants and ferns. Then, there are the “weird characters”, such as seed ferns which are now completely extinct and the ginkgo which is no longer represented in New Zealand or Australia today.
“But in Gondwanan times we had ginkgos scattered all the way across the Southern Hemisphere and they were a pretty important component of the forest at the time. But then, somewhere between now and 90 million years ago, they petered out completely. They just vanished, they were completed squished out of their ecological niches by some other things, probably by the flowering plants that came in and dominated their ecological position.”
At 93 million years, the fossils from the Chathams are a little younger than the 97-million-year-old plants the team found in the Clarence Valley, in Marlborough.
The Chathams are some 800 kilometres east of Christchurch, but at the time, there was land all the way between the mainland and the Chathams, covered in sprawling forests that ran right across the Zealandia landmass.
“The Clarence valley still has the ginkgos and seed ferns but by the time we come to the Chathams, they are all gone. That’s an important transition in the evolutionary history of plants as they change from the old, what are now extinct plants, into the modern flora where you have the domination of angiosperms, or flowering plants.”
GNS Science palaeobotanist Liz Kennedy says it is difficult to get a window on the world of these polar forests.
“The Clarence flora is unique in New Zealand. It’s the only leaf flora that we have of this age and the only one that has flowering plants in it.”
The fossils will now be analysed further to study any pollen and the isotope ratios of carbon and oxygen to determine what the climate was like at the time.
“We’re looking at carbon dioxide concentrations at four to five times those of today, so these fossil sites are important and have a global story to tell,” says Chris Mays.
