Description In Favor Of Books Fat! So?: Because You Don't Have to Apologize for Your Size

Fat? Chunky? Less than svelte? So what! In this hilarious and eye-opening book, fat and proud activist/zinester Marilyn Wann takes on Americas' biggest fear—worse than the fear of public speaking or nuclear weapons—our fear of fat.Statistics tell us that about a third of Americans are fat, and common sense adds that just about everyone, fat or thin, male or female, has worried about their appearance. FAT!SO? weighs in with a more attractive alternative: feeling good about yourself at any weight—and having the style and attitude to back it up. Internationally recognized as a fat-positive spokesperson, Wann has learned that you can be absolutely happy, healthy, and successful...and fat. With its hilarious and insightful blend of essays, quizzes, facts, and reporting, FAT!SO? proves that you can be out-and-out fabulous at any size.

Judge About Books Fat! So?: Because You Don't Have to Apologize for Your Size

While it was something I'd thought about a little before, this book is the first place I've seen it written down that you don't have to hate your body - that life can be enjoyable and healthy whether you're thin or fat, and really it's not something to obsess over either way.Many people are afraid to be fat, and that's not surprising when you consider the way that fat people are portrayed in media and treated in life. This book examines some of the reasons for the hate towards fat, with

This is fat liberation 101. This is a must read for anyone living in our fat phobic world, and that means you!I wrote the following review for the Summer 1999 issue of the Minnesota Social Responsibility Round Table Newsletter:There is no weight minimum required to delight in this book; fatsos of all sizes will find it a pleasure.Based on a zine started in 1993, Fat!So? is fun and informative. Its history as a zine is apparent in its bold graphics, enlightening sidebars, and cool extras such as

This book was suggested to me, which i suppose is okay, except it's doubtful even the most size accepting diva (and I am certainly not she) would probably have some kind of resistence to being offered this book. Either because she could write it herself or because she's still hasn't gotten "there" yet.Nevertheless, I think the book, despite this rather creative use of stats, medical journal entries and such is really interesting. I realize it was started as zine and so the writing is not as

I. Love. This. Book. I do. I'd heard about it years ago, and I figured it would be some silly self-help thing with secret you-should-diet messages in the back somewhere. However, I was more than excited to find out I was wrong. Not only does Ms. Wann (and her contributors) suggest that fat = beautiful, but they back it up with, yes, cheerleadery stuff, AND facts and figures. NO, being fat DOESN'T cause diabetes and other health problems. Dieting? Only works about 90% of the time. Did you know -

This book was written in the late 90s and reading it in 2018 is crazy to see how it still relates. It is eye opening in so many ways on body image. How it there are no actual facts and proof what is being told to everyone is factual. This book is encouraging and really opens the mind. There are real life stories to relate to and there is pictures. Even it's a flip book. It made me laugh at time and angry at other times. It's a great read and I will pick it up again at some point because I feel

I give this book 5 stars because at the time it was written (late 90s) it was THE radical text on the subject. That being said, I wish I read this back in 98 when I was 18. Wann's was one of the premiere voices on fat acceptance of her generation, and the principles she deals out in the book still hold true today. It's interesting to read in hindsight to see where we came from and where we still need to go in terms of fat rights. Those reading it should read it in context, knowing that this was

Recommended by a friend, a little cheesy and moralizing but also entertaining. As a fat lady it's hard to believe you're beautiful in a society that is constantly selling you based on your low sense of self worth. This is what I wished the book would have focused on, less silly self-aggrandizing and moreso on the advertising industry's brutal assault to sell you a better version of yourself. Clever title and beautiful presentation. I love the flip book in the corner, a cute fattie doing
