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.

like there's 2 things i think of at least: the military wanting a one-size-fits-all outfit to make gear standardized (they ended up having to make 3 sizes), and how fatness is used to play into desireability politics to cover up how white patriarchs raped black perceived-females. like, i sense those were meant to be simmering in the background, (we literally started out with how fatphobia is connected to militarism, and how fatphobia is compared to an "epidemic" like how bourgeois depictions of famine refugees as zombies & "great replacement" canard works with settler colonizers. but again, these are left lower-key.)
