Health at Every Size

Briefly. Not the best writing, and definitely a bit tedious and repetitious, but overall interesting. I think this book would be a fair introduction to the HAES movement, to fat activism, and to the controversy over health vs. weight. It's always refreshing to hear different words from various healthcare providers besides the usual absurdity of overweight being deadly. I would recommend this for someone who has problems with self image, who finds doctors nagging about diets pointless, and for someone who just wants an intro to being healthy.
