On the idea of forcing kids to eat whatever we say they need to eat: “Without ever intending it, we‘re normalizing the idea that it‘s ok for somebody else to dominate your body, to decide what you put inside it - if they love you.” !!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ How can we raise our kids to combat fat phobic culture? So many of us were taught not to take up space, and have spent our whole lives trying to unlearn this. It‘s hard. Sole-Smith addresses social stigma, intentions / behaviors, internalized negative stereotypes, and so much more. We must promote body diversity. Humans come in a vast variety. This is such a worthwhile read!
4.5/5
This is such an important book about the impact diet culture and anti-fat bias can have on children and teenagers. It's a book that both educates on the topic and offers some suggestions for how to combat the anti-fat bias kids are being exposed to.
