The co-host of the Maintenance Phase podcast and creator of Your Fat Friend equips you with the facts to debunk common anti-fat myths and with tools to take action for fat justice
The pushback that shows up in conversations about fat justice takes exceedingly predicable form. Losing weight is easy—calories in, calories out. Fat people are unhealthy. We’re in the midst of an obesity epidemic. Fat acceptance “glorifies obesity.” The BMI is an objective measure of size and health. Yet, these myths are as readily debunked as they are pervasive.
In “You Just Need to Lose Weight,” Aubrey Gordon equips readers with the facts and figures to reframe myths about fatness in order to dismantle the anti-fat bias ingrained in how we think about and treat fat people. Bringing her dozen years of community organizing and training to bear, Gordon shares the rhetorical approaches she and other organizers employ to not only counter these pernicious myths, but to dismantle the anti-fat bias that so often underpin them.
As conversations about fat acceptance and fat justice continue to grow, “You Just Need to Lose Weight” will be essential to ensure that those conversations are informed, effective, and grounded in both research and history.

“Fat Justice” ???? Next time I’m on an airplane and have to sit next to a “person of size” I will have to remember how accepting I need to be……

Is this another retard telling people that being fat is not only healthy, but beautiful? It isnt, and its not. This is part of a new movement to get everyone in this country as fat and sick as possible so the Pharma and medical industries can increase their profits and it will help lower the populations. What we need to do is remove sugar and corn syrup from our society as they are the reason we are so fat. Just eat WHOLE Foods that have not been processed and you will be slim, healthy and energetic, plus you will destroy the pharma institutes like they deserve.

Well stated Hogweed. Another substance to remove from the western diet is seed oils (aka canola, corn, cottonseed, soybean, sunflower, safflower, grapeseed, and rice bran). It’s in everything. They should use olive oil and vinegar on the salad if they must eat food that my food eats.

this book is literally insane, normalizing and justifying clearly unnatural, unhealthy and gluttonous behavior, these people and esp the author need a serious intervention. A prime example of far left ‘wokism’ bringing about misery and death to the believers. the rub is that it is really easy and fun to stay thin and healthy, with a tiny bit of real education

…”glutenous” behaviour even.

What a lot of angry people. You know you can just not read it, right?

I wonder why so many people on this site are so angry at anything even slightly liberal. I would love to know what kind of books you are all listening to so maybe more people can understand your viewpoint.

If you actually read the book, and preferably her previous book as well, she roundly and easily disproves and debunks the vitriol in this (and every) comment section.
