cyndin 's review for:
Two Whole Cakes: How to Stop Dieting and Learn to Love Your Body
by Lesley Kinzel
I really enjoyed Kinzel's blog when it was active, but she stopped updating it a couple of years ago. So I was glad to see her book. The book is a collection of articles but without chapter headings, so it all blends together. Each piece is well done but a bit of organization would have made it more readable. Sitting down to read it all together, it may not matter much, but it would be impossible to go back and find something specific.
Fatness as moral deficiency is something Kinzel is excellent at tearing to shreds. And something we as a society need to bury forever. Fat in America is all about blame and the story of the stoic individual. Because if we just Tried Harder we would all be pretty (which means petite).
The book is short so go ahead and read it to get Kinzel's take on this subject, rather than my trying to distill it. If you are fat or close to someone who is, go read this book. If you're not fat but you know how to fix people who are, definitely go read this book. (And if you don't fit either of these categories, read it anyway.)
