An insightful and well-informed book. Very inclusive and relevant. This book addresses many social injustices and prejudices that exist in American society. Mekdela not only talks about sizeism and fatphobia, but also racism, sexism, classism, and ableism.
There were a few parts that rambled a bit, but overall I found the book engaging and informative. Everyone could benefit from reading this book for its educational merit and social relevance.
4 stars
Favorite Quote: I am tired of living in a country that is working people to death for below a living wage, allowing unregulated corporations to poison food, water, homes, and buildings with toxic chemicals, and privatizing healthcare and life-saving medications so that people can’t access them, all while framing the “health” conversation around “obesity.”
Genres: Nonfiction, Memoir
