You Have the Right to Remain Fat by Virgie Tovar

5.0

---

This tiny book has a powerful punch. So much wisdom, compassion and courage in one place. Honoring people's humanity no matter what their size should not be a controversial topic, but sadly it is. This book is a feminist manifesto no matter what your size and should be required reading for anyone who wants to see the power of diet culture, the limitations of our definitions of feminine and masculine, and the horrific fat-phobia of our society. It unpacks it all and you will never see things the same way again.
