A wonderfully empathetic book with the medical research citations to back up its claims about diet culture. It is aimed at parents, but anyone who ever felt self-conscious about their weight as a kid can relate.
A “parenting book” I will actually recommend to others. So much to unpack and re-learn here. And to do better to my kids than generations before.

Likely, this will be my book of the year. I learned so much about fatphobia and how our culture has a permanent anti fat filter. I see this EVERYWHERE now.
I would say this has great information on how to talk to kids about bodies but it kind of glosses over the science of nutrition. It could have been better. Great discussion book.

Important, vital information for parents trying to raise kids with healthy relationships to food and their bodies. Highly recommend!
There were some parts I loved and some parts where I felt like her position was a little extreme (like saying it’s reasonable to let her kid eat a plain stick of butter for dinner). It was all worth a read and worth consideration, though, especially as our kid gets old enough to understand more of what people are talking about around her.
Fantastic information and I really appreciated the variety of topics and approaches. Lots of practical tools, ideas, etc. Also the resources provided for reference are super helpful. This helped me understand my own bias and behavior as well as giving me ideas for my kids and kids in my life.
