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 refined as one might expect, but there are gems in here.

I think many people who search for a means to find size acceptance might be put off by Wann's rather snotty ton and her overuse of use of the "us v them"isms.

That's where the book lost me. I mean by the point in time where you are open to this book, you already know the US as a sizeist fucked up place. You already know that you can be a chunky healthy person and never be perceived that way, and your skinny, chain smoking, non sunscreen wearing, non barrier using, binge drinking whore of a best friend will always be assumed to be "healthy".

Yeah, it sucks to be you. I was looking for how to actively resists sizeist training that goes beyond defacing telephone poles and walking into teeny bopper stores and demanding they carry 36DDD bras and size L panties.

I wanted a meaty examination of how size privilege works and maybe even a "size priv for dummies" factsheet. The kind of thing you can use as a tool in educating others about their fucked up sizeist attitudes. Whether it's a lover, a friend or you know, a doctor.
