Anne McElvoy talks to psychotherapist Susie Orbach about our growing obsession with body image, and how those western body obsessions are spreading across the globe, from the boom in cosmetic surgery in Iran to reconstructive surgery in China. Orbach has written and campaigned on issues of women's attitudes to food and health since the 1970s and is most famous for having written the book Fat is a Feminist Issue.
