Fat Talk: Parenting in the Age of Diet Culture by Virginia Sole-Smith

5.0

---

This was recommended by a friend and I devoured it. I dogeared many pages and recorded and reflected on them in my journal. It is amazing how pervasive fat phobia and anti-fatness are in our culture and in how I was raised. I made some immediate changes that I realized were adding to my negative body image self talk and have some long term work to do. And it has ways I can talk to my child with thin privilege and my child who is small fat about how fat people deserve respect, and support. A must read for any parent who eats food.
