It's right there in the title - fuck it: eating should be easy. But Dooner does incredible work taking down diet culture and encouraging readers to eat food and give up restriction. That sounds simple but if you, like me, have been steeped in diet culture since birth (and if you are alive, you have been), it is challenging to get out of the mindset that smaller bodies are better and thin axiomatically = healthy. The book is primarily focused on readers with eating disorders and binge eating but if you are a person who wants to enjoy food, nourish yourself and not release yourself of diets, then this is a great read.
