What We Don't Talk about When We Talk about Fat by Aubrey Gordon

5.0
I regularly read books that I think everyone should read, but this is one I know I'll be recommending for a long, long time, to as many people as I can. I've followed Aubrey Gordon's work for years, and have been convinced of her positions for a while now, but this book lays out everything in such a clear, damning way. This book answers the questions I haven't known how to when having arguments with other straight-size people about anti-fat bias, and addresses everything you may think to ask about. This book should be required reading for everyone, but *especially* those going into the medical field in any way.
