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

3.0

---

admittedly, i am not the target audience of the book because i am not a parent. i mainly picked it up because i wanted to read more about anti-fat bias and fat activism. altogether, i think the author made some good points about how we are conditioned to view fatness as inherently bad and as a marker of moral character, but i felt like sometimes, the anecdotes/case studies of parents and children contradicted each other and diminished the strength of the overall message. perhaps this would've resonated with me more if i was a parent?
