The excerpts that I encountered from this grossly overlooked loads of scientific data, and thus, I hardly expected to enjoy the read. However, the book foremost focuses on prejudices, and how even in this liberal age, fat prejudices seem to be validated by modern culture, and more so than ever before. And, overwhelmingly, rather than questioning the data, the book pointed out places where relying only on the data repeatedly falls short.

I think this is a really important book. Not only is it about a side of the human experience that most people choose not to think about, but it is an incredibly vulnerable, honest, and well-researched narrative. I did struggle with the writing style (I listened to the audiobook and it was a bit repetitive) but overall the message came across. I will definitely be reading her other work!

Such a good one! Necessary reading for anyone with a body. A few intense parts of talking about anti-fat bias that hit close to home and might if you also are fat, but so so worth the read. Love Aubrey Gordon!
