Publisher's Synopsis

'A classic that will help you face the demands of 21st century living' Stylist

Susie Orbach's seminal work, now established as a worldwide classic, shows how fat is not about food, but rather about politics, defiance, protection, sex, strength, assertion, anger, love.

This edition includes a new introduction by Susie Orbach that explores how the landscape of bodies and food has shifted in our online age, bringing this iconic book to a new generation of readers.

'Groundbreaking in 1978, Orbach's original exploration of the body fascism of diets and body obsession is even more relevant today' Guardian

'A pioneering feminist text' Vice
