I’m not a parent or caretaker and currently don’t plan to be BUT I really enjoyed and learned so much from this book. I think anyone would find it helpful, but do plan to recommend it many of my parent friends (caretaking is super hard and I’m so glad I’m not raising a little one during social media times!). Sole-Smith covers a broad range of topics in the fat phobia world in a well researched and thoughtful way.
I really really enjoyed this book and think it’s an excellent primer on the topic but that’s what it is - a primer. It left me wanting more that is outside the scope of cited journals and repetitive language

What an important book! Very well researched and covers a variety of topics. It felt like it cast it's net a little wide, but definitely offered a good taste of many important topics tackling how to better parent and push back against diet culture.

This book is a desperately needed resource for parents living in an anti-fat world so we can navigate the diet culture and understand the impacts on our kids from that diet culture.
Audiobook. Every time I got frustrated and was about to give it three stars she would come back with a great insight. I always have issues with books with a one-sided interpretation of data but that’s the point of a book/thesis statement I guess! Wish there were clearer answers rather than a rushed summary at the end

For parents, teachers, humans with bodies. How anti-fatness prevades our lives and how to navigate conversations with youth (and other people in general) in an attempt to dismantle harmful systems and structures against respect for body diversity. Ends with a How-To section with readily applicable and practical questions and scenarios to have the fat talk(s). It helps to hear the audio book engagingly read by the author.
Fatphobia shows up in healthcare, education, sports/extracurriculars, diet, social media.
If nothing else take away this refrain for ensuing conversations.

Fat people are worthy of respect, safety, and dignity no matter how sick they are, no matter how much they eat, no matter how much they move, no matter how far they are from any notion of health, however defined
