This is a very important book, and I'm glad I read it! While I did not agree with 100% of the author's points, I absolutely support her main idea and think more people should read this book and others like it to raise awareness of anti-fat bias and strategies for dealing with it.
I will say, it was frustrating that the author didn't apply the same rigorous critical thinking to the studies she liked as to the ones she didn't. It seemed unbalanced at times.
But overall, I would still recommend it.
