What We Don't Talk about When We Talk about Fat by Aubrey Gordon

challenging emotional informative medium-paced

4.5

This is a book about a marginalized group. It’s not an easy read and it’s not an uplifting book focused on self care or body positivity - individual changes, largely. Rather, it’s focused on the challenges faced by small fat and large fat people in the world today, especially in public, in the media, and in healthcare, and a call to action for making changes in our society at large to benefit people with fat bodies. The book is well-researched, with some excruciating examples from the author’s own experience mixed in. 

I have long enjoyed the author’s role in the podcast The Maintenance Phase and look forward to reading her second book as well.
