Fat Talk: Parenting in the Age of Diet Culture by Virginia Sole-Smith

4.0

I read this for my therapist book club at work and it was our best pick yet! Accessibly presented research fleshed out with the stories of lots of different families and how they’ve navigated weight, food, exercise, eating disorders, and more. Sole-Smith brings so much empathy to all angles of these conversations. I learned more from some chapters than others - I particularly appreciated the ones on sports and puberty. Obviously this is specifically intended for parents but it would benefit anyone who spends any time around children!
