By the time they reach kindergarten, most kids have learned that "fat" is bad. As they get older, kids learn to pursue thinness in order to survive in a world that ties our body size to our value. Sole-Smith shows how the reverberations of this messaging and social pressures on young bodies continue well into adulthood - and what we can do to fight them. Sole-Smith offers an alternative framework for parenting around food and bodies, and a way for us all to work toward a more weight-inclusive world - because it's not our kids, or their bodies, who need fixing.
