Have you ever been bullied for being overweight? The reality of being a plus-sized person is that you’re trying to live a life just as complicated, exciting, fun and challenging as everyone else. But the problem is, at every turn, society sends the message that you should apologize for simply being in your own body. As obesity rates soar, so does the prevalence of shaming those affected by it. But what’s truly concerning is that fat shaming is often deceptive, steeped in misinformation and perpetuated by sources we trust, including some healthcare professionals. It’s time to reshape the conversation. The Book of Body Positivity delves into why the measures aimed at controlling the so-called obesity epidemic have fallen short and presents solutions for a healthier future. This book offers an incisive critique of current practices, serving as an insightful guide to the fragmented science surrounding weight and health.
