It is written by long-time fat activist, Ali Thompson of Ok2BeFat.<br /> This book is a incandescent cry from the heart, a radical turn away from utopian daydreaming of future body perfection to center a fat perspective instead.<br /> Ali invites people to experience a fictional version of a few of the many ways that fatphobia can manifest in a life. The ways that the people closest to fat people can subject them to tiny betrayals on a near constant basis. The disdain that piles up over the years, until it all becomes too large to bear.<br /> And while some of the fatphobic tech in these stories may seem outrageous and downright unbelievable, it is all based on extrapolations of so-called "advances" by the diet industry, as they search for ever more efficient ways to starve people.<br /> The modern day worship of Health promises a future peopled only by the thin, a world where the War on Fatness is won and only visually acceptable bodies remain.<br /> What will that future mean for the fat people who will inevitably still continue to exist?<br /> Nothing good.</p>
