Books Descriptions
Fans of Issa Rae and Phoebe Robinson will love this collection
of laugh-out-loud funny and insightful essays that explore
race, feminism, pop culture, and how society reinforces the
message that we are nothing without the perfect body. By the
time Chlo? Hilliard was 12, she wore a size 12?both shoe and
dress?and stood over six feet tall. Fitting in was never an
option. That didn?t stop her from trying. Cursed with a ?slow
metabolism,? ?baby weight,? and ?big bones,??the fat
trilogy?Chloe turned to fad diets, starvation, pills, and
workouts, all of which failed. Realizing that everything?from
government policies to corporate capitalism?directly impacts
our relationship with food and our waistlines, Chlo? changed
her outlook on herself and hopes others will do the same for
themselves. The perfect mix of cultural commentary,
conspiracies, and confessions, F*ck Your Diet pokes fun at the
all too familiar, misguided quest for better health, permanent
weight loss, and a sense of self-worth.
