Fat Talk: Coming of Age in Diet Culture by Virginia Sole-Smith
informative
reflective
medium-paced
3.75
I got so much out of this. For someone who is on the higher end of midsize or small fat, who doesn't have kids, and who has already started on a road towards body neutrality this gave me so many strategies to guide the conversations of young people I interact with to help them navigate the rocky waters of fatphobia. I will absolutely be recommending this to people that I know who have kids.
(I would have given the book 4 stars, but the digital edition I read through Libby, and the paperback copy from my local library did not have references which is a major failing for a research based piece of work. The hardcover edition does have references printed within and the resources are available on the authors website but this is not good enough.)
