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

challenging emotional informative reflective medium-paced

4.5

 This was such a good read/listen. I encourage everyone— of all sizes— to read this one. Aubrey Gordon talks about diet culture, fatphobia, eating disorders, weight loss, sexual violence, and SO much more as it pertains to being a fat person. As a fat individual, this one really resonated with me and I would like to go back and read a physical copy to annotate for my own shelves. I removed a half star because I wish there would have been more talk and emphasis on eating disorders in fat people, and how they are often overlooked and dismissed because they look different. Although this is touched on, I would have liked more. 
 
→ Things I Liked: narrator, informative 
 
→ Things I Disliked: anecdotal— it could have had more “take action” conversation
