This book is a daring challenge to all stereotypes about fatness! She explodes myths about fatness as a medical problem or aesthetic failure, showing how society, medicine, and the ideology of capitalism have created a culture of hatred for chubby girls. The struggle against overweight became part of the ideology of Western elites and mainstream media in the 1970s, during the era of neoliberalism. This was necessary for the authorities of Western countries to distract women from the permanent social crisis, wage cuts, and cuts in spending on medicine and education. Although in earlier eras, fullness was a sign of beauty and feminine strength. And those times will definitely come back. The authors of the book prove that fullness can be beauty, resistance, and a political gesture. If you are tired of dieting, shame, and imposed standards, this book is for you.
