“Everyone who has a fat family member, friend, acquaintance, or coworker should read this insightful book.”
— Library Journal, Starred Review
“Gordon provides candid storytelling and critical analysis in this validating and inclusive read.”
— Ms. Magazine
“Writing from a personal and cultural perspective, Gordon goes beyond cosmetic complaints to undress the depths of anti-fat bias and discrimination, ultimately rallying for a social justice movement to form and broaden the scope of the conversation.”
— CultureShift
“Gordon seamlessly threads a personal narrative with data and history . . . A much-needed and accessible addition to fat discourse.”
—Ayu Sutriasa, YES! Magazine
ldquo;Few writers approach the realities of living in a fat body, the pernicious nature of fatphobia, and what it would take for our culture to radically reimagine our relationships to our bodies than Aubrey Gordon. . . . Gordon has crafted a manifesto on unapologetic fatness and fat justice. Her cultural criticism about bodies is timely, elegant, searing. This book is required reading for absolutely everyone. The wisdom Gordon offers in these pages is going to irrevocably change fat discourse, and it comes not a moment too soon.”
—Roxane Gay, author of Bad Feminist and Hunger
“A deeply articulate, validating, and empowering read! Aubrey Gordon pushes the envelope beyond feel-good-Instagram-body-positivity and calls for structural change in our thinking, understanding, and treatment of fat bodies. Your fat friends need this book, but your thin friends need it even more.”
—Julie Murphy, author of Dumplin’
“It’s not often you find a book that’s going to save someone’s life. As a fat person, I felt heard and seen. . . . It’s like having a fat best friend on your bookshelf, ready to explain everything that you didn’t think you needed to know about fatness.”
—Sofie Hagen, author of Happy Fat: Taking Up Space in a World That Wants to Shrink You
“An authoritative, forceful, splendidly written, and deeply moving account of the shockingly personal hostility she and other fat people must endure on a daily basis. You don’t have to agree with her interpretation of the research on fatness and its consequences to sign on to her thoroughly convincing demand for respect as a human being and for what she calls ‘fat justice.’ This book changed my thinking, and in the best possible way.”
—Marion Nestle, professor of nutrition, food studies, and public health, emerita, New York University, and author of Let’s Ask Marion
“She’s one of the great writers of our generation, one of the great thinkers of our generation . . . I think I’ll never really be the same afterwards and I feel fresher and smarter and happier for sitting down with her.”

very important read

I really liked this book and think everyone should read it - fat or not! It showed the biases and stereotypes we have against fat people and how it affects not only the lives of fat people but everyone. I also really liked the writing style - not a lot of academic language so easy to read. read it in 2 days!
Dies sollte Pflichtlektüre in…

Dies sollte Pflichtlektüre in den Schulen sein. Besonders herausragend für alle, die in der Ernährungskultur der 90er/2000er Jahre aufgewachsen sind und dabei sind, fettphobe Ideen zu verlernen und versuchen, sich mehr mit den Tugenden der Körperneutralität zu beschäftigen. Aubrey Gordon ist eine schöne, aber effiziente Autorin, die mühelos ihre eigene persönliche Erzählung mit sachlichen und wissenschaftlichen Informationen verwebt. Ich habe sie durch ihren Podcast „Maintenance Phase“ entdeckt und bin so froh, jetzt ihre Karriere zu verfolgen, um zu sehen, was sie als nächstes tut!
