This is the deeply researched, meticulously footnoted treatise on fatphobia of my dreams -- with some great academic philosophy tea to boot. Everyone should read this book.

A great mixture of personal anecdotes and research, Unshrinking is a wonderful addition to the growing collection of literature on the harms of fatphobia. Definitely a good starter book for those who are just beginning to unpack their relationship with diet culture and learn more about systemic fatphobia.
