An explosion of the myth of the “childhood obesity epidemic,” FAT TALK gives parents (and anyone with a body) strategies for unlearning our biases and raising kids in a fatphobic world.
“Fat Talk is the book I wish my parents had when I was growing up.”
—Julia Turshen, New York Times bestselling author
An exploration, both personal and deeply reported, of how we learn to eat in today’s toxic food culture.
“A deeply moving book about the power of appetite to shape all of our lives. Sole-Smith writes with warmth and insight about the sheer complexity of eating today – and how this most basic and joyful of human activities can be relearned.”
— Bee Wilson, food writer and author of First Bite: How We Learn to Eat
