What's Wrong with Fat? by Abigail Saguy
What's Wrong with Fat? examines the social implications of understanding fatness as a medical health risk, disease, and epidemic. Examining the ways in which debates over fatness have developed, Abigail Saguy argues that the obesity crisis literally makes us fat, intensifies negative body image, and justifies weight-based discrimination.
I would consider this body of work to be of utmost importance to individuals on both sides of this debate: scientists, professionals in medicine and public heath, and Fat Acceptance and Health at Every Size advocates aiding all of them in appreciating the complexity of this important topic* Denise Michele Martz, Sex Roles *
