One of the best non fiction books I’ve read in the past few years. I wish this were required reading for every single human.

I really enjoyed this book and I think it is such a comprehensive work on how fatphobia has become so normalized in our daily life, and why that has tremendous consequences for everyone. Fat people deserve dignity and respect and to be treated humanely, and we shouldn't have to bring studies and references into a conversation where we request this treatment.

Very accessible yet challenging reflection on fat phobia in our society and the issues fat people face. The only issue is an unresearched anecdote on the invention of vibrators.

This book echoed so much other literature around feminism, disability, racism, and intersectionality, and is a long overdue and extremely necessary addition to that dialogue.

This book sat on my TBR for awhile. I knew that reading it would both remind me of the pain I’ve experienced from anti-fatness and diet culture, as well as the regret I feel for being a culture carrier for those same ideologies. The writing was excellent and engaging despite difficult and triggering subject matter.

None of this was new information to me, but I'm really glad this book exists.

A book that everyone should read. Gordon’s writing is incisive, human, and very accessible. This book talks about so many important things, and it’s something everyone should encounter and think about. I loved this book and felt seen by it. I can’t wait for Aubrey Gordon’s next one!
