Introduction: The “Spirit” of Fat Acceptance

Chapter Three: Fat Tactics and the Pragmatics of Fat Activism
Chapter Four: Anti-fat Rhetoric and Social Media

Conclusion
A comprehensive and thoroughly researched journey into the intricacies of the fat acceptance movement. As a leader in the Health at Every Size® (HAES®) movement for the past 2 decades, I found the work to be compelling and illuminating, particularly in helping to connect the work that we do in HAES with a deeper understanding of the intersectionality and privilege involved.
