If you can't handle the topics covered, I fully understand. I'm in eating disorder recovery myself and this topic was triggering for me. But the final chapter is one of the greatest pieces of activist writing I've ever read and I think everyone should read that chapter *at least*.
Thank you so much for writing this, Aubrey Gordon. It will be an oft recommended book in my future.

I think a lot of people would benefit from reading this book, and maybe afterwards we could stop holding on to harmful beliefs that only make people miserable, not healthy and definitely not thin. It's seriously disheartening how many people still believe being fat is a matter of willpower and discipline. I've had a lot of great conversations with people in my life while and after reading Aubrey's book, and I feel empowered to have more with the great resources provided.
On top of that, this was just a really engrossing audiobook to listen to. Heartbreaking but also funny and relatable, it was a really enjoyable experience (upsetting topic aside). Highly recommend! That said, please be aware of any content warnings you might need. You do directly read things people have said or done to Aubrey and it can be upsetting.
