I wanted to like this book so much. After looking into it, there really isn't very many books tackling the topic. My husband and I read it together and found it useful more for the fact that we did not like much of it. It created some great conversations and shined light on how inundated our children our by diet culture and the culture of thin is "good" fat is "lazy, bad." It helped us openly talk about our own histories and biases and plan for how we can work through all this with our own kids. The booked lacked in solid science, felt very anectodical, and practical advice and has us on the lookout for better books around the topic.
