Synopsis:

Powerful polemic, encouraging women to ditch their self-loathing calorie counting and embrace the fashionable fat woman within. Readers will devour Kinzel's refreshing approach to body image. Focusing on issues of size acceptance, feminism, gender studies and body images, Kinzel offers a range of alternatives to shame based views on fat and obesity. Actual statistics and facts about prescription diet remedies and weight loss programs are revealed. Kinzel challanges stereotypes and insists on issues of size and consumption being a personal choice.
