Why It’s OK to Be Fat challenges dominant cultural views of fatness as a moral failing or a medical problem to be fixed. Rekha Nath critiques pervasive anti-fat biases and sizeism, arguing for a shift in how society views body size through the lens of social equality. Drawing on rigorous research and moral philosophy, Nath connects fat stigma to broader systems of structural injustice, such as racism and sexism. This compelling book invites readers to rethink cultural narratives around weight, health, and dignity while advocating for a more inclusive and equitable society.
