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 went into this book thinking I had a good grip on the general ideas behind body positivity/neutrality and harmful beauty standards but man, the situation is so much worse than I could have ever imagined. Gordon's research combined with her personal experiences are truly eye-opening. I even read the section about planes while on one, and it made me view the situation in an entirely new light.
Another one to add to the list of "should be mandatory reading for all human beings".
