“You Just Need to Lose Weight”: And 19 Other Myths About Fat People by Aubrey Gordon

challenging informative reflective medium-paced

4.75

Very informative book. Easy to read and understand, not too academic. Covers a lot of issues adjacent to anti fat bias including racism, anti trans bias, etc. A good reference book to use to argue points. I think my .25 knock off is mostly there because at times it was a little repetitive, and I know Aubrey mentions that it’s kind of supposed to be sectioned so that you don’t have to read the whole book through and can just go to diff chapters for certain references/answers. But at times it did make it hard for me to read a bunch at once, but familiar mentions can be skimmed through.
