![]() Podcaster Gordon ( What We Don’t Talk About When We Talk About Fat) interrogates misperceptions about fatness in this helpful handbook for those “struggling to interrupt moments of anti-fatness in their daily lives.” Among other myths, Gordon debunks the notions that fatness is a choice, that obesity is the leading cause of death in the U.S., that fat acceptance “glorifies obesity,” that weight loss “is the result of healthy choices and should be celebrated,” and that “fat bodies are not to be seen, discussed, observed, or embraced.” Many sections conclude with a short list of questions for reflection, designed to help people of diverse body types recognize and combat anti-fat bias-for example, by not offering unsolicited weight-loss compliments. ![]()
