You Just Need to Lose Weight: And 19 Other Myths about Fat People by Aubrey Gordon

informative medium-paced

5.0

I thought Aubrey Gordon's first book was phenomenal and haven't stopped recommending it, but I'm probably going to have to switch to recommending this one to most folks instead--it just so clearly breaks down all of the things people say about anti-fat bias. I get into arguments and often don't know what to say or how to back up what I'm saying, and this book is the best resource for that. I only wish I had a physical copy so it would be easier to reference things, rather than the audiobook. For people who really do want to learn more, or at least take the time to understand this "side" of things, I'll definitely be trying to get them to read this book. It's so easy to get sidetracked in points that aren't really about the real issue here, and I love the way Gordon addresses those efficiently while still staying on-topic and bringing things back to the central issue at hand. I could not recommend this book enough.
