Should be required reading. I had to take breaks as I read - the details of hate and oppression are truly hard to get through. Gordon weaves her own personal experiences (painful as they are) through the book to soften the sense research and makes a highly compelling case for kindness and humanity as she debunks a lot of diet-culture myths that create the foundation for abuse and mistreatment of fat people.
This book will open your eyes.
I recommend it and her podcast with Michael Hobbes: Maintenance Phase

Useful, accessible, and often moving. Definitely worth the read, especially if you haven't encountered data on weight and health, discrimination against and the experiences of fat people.
Many stories will be familiar to listeners of Maintenance Phase, but there is also lots of new content.
As with The Body is Not an Apology, I often disagreed with the author's particulars but found her overall message to be worth knowing and understanding, and was again struck by the level of constructive discomfort she demands from her readers.
