A review by readingrenae
Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari

Did not finish book. Stopped at 0%.
Completely unwarranted fatphobia, about an hour and a half in. If it was opinions of anti-fatness between true and factual information, I would have sucked it up and finished the book. However, between claims that obesity was sweeping the world as a plague, he made the broad statement that high-calorie foods do not serve any nutritional purpose, leaving out that the calorie is just a measurement of consumable energy and our health is also dependent on what vitamins, proteins, and fats can be found in our food, regardless of calorie count. Could not stomach the remaining 13 hours, having lost trust in the author.
