Fat Is a Feminist Issue by Susie Orbach

1.0

I have tried reading this several times. I get that it was "groundbreaking", but when I read it all I hear is the same old fat-hatred/fat-blaming. "But if you REALLY just love your self and let go of your NEED to be fat, then you will magically become thin! Because obviously everyone who is fat really just WANTS to be fat! It's not a diet book--it's an ANTI-diet book! Because it doesn't tell you to diet, see! It just tells you that everyone needs to WANT to be thin--to REALLY REALLY want it, and then the magical santa elf of I-love-myself-and-don't-want-to-be-fat will make it so! Yes!".
NO. I call bullshit. I also say that I don't need to waste my time and energy on trying to read this anymore. I don't care how "groundbreaking" it was supposed to be.
