    End of Chapter 1 Thoughts

    I’m a little conflicted on the language the author is using because it seems like she’s trying to placate the readers who are overweight about how it’s okay to be overweight while demonizing tf out of intentionally trying to lose weight even if you aren’t following a fad diet. Obviously this first chapter was just a history of diet culture’s evolution so maybe what I’m expecting out of this book will come in the later chapters, but I feel like the author is just wasting time making sure she interjects repeatedly that she doesn’t agree with diet culture and the language it created (which, duh or else this book wouldn’t exist).

    I do also disagree strongly with diet culture and the way society has demonized being “overweight” or just not being stick thin in general, but I also disagree with how the author stated several times that being overweight doesn’t come with health problems. Sorry not sorry, but you aren’t healthy when you weigh 300 pounds and can’t jump or can’t run a mile uninterrupted or even walk up stairs without mouth-breathing.

    Maybe in a later chapter she’ll try to change my mind, and I’m excited to see what arguments she brings up.
