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

challenging informative reflective fast-paced

4.0

I think this book is an excellent primer on antifatness, and it was clearly researched thoroughly. It is more detached from Aubrey's usual wit and charm on Matienance Phase, as it hones in on the science quite a bit more than on the personal. I don't think there's anything necessarily wrong with that, but it did make the chapters feel overloaded with a lot of information in a relatively short span of time. I also found some of the information redundant, though that is probably intentional in a book geared towards people who may have no prior exposure to antifatness.
