Book excerpt: Whether your body is small or large, aged or young, tall or short, abled or disabled, toned or soft, lithe or stiff, or somewhere in-between these dichotomies, anti-fatness affects us all because it is intended to. Fat Church criticizes anti-fat prejudice and the often pseudoscientific, medicalized vocabulary that supports it. The book argues for fat acceptance within and beyond the church as a part of God's intersectional movement toward body liberation for us all. It contains an extensive review of literature on fat studies.
