Checking this out! I don't read fast but I am consistent :D

For work I read a lot of scientific papers so sadly I don't have too much energy to come home and read much of the political stuff that is still on my wish list. So there will probably be quite a lot of (science) fiction ...

Aubrey Gordon: What We Don't Talk About When We Talk About Fat (Paperback, 2021, Beacon Press)

Good book. Pretty information dense, lots of statistics from good sources while being so personal with own experiences and examples from other folks' lives that it doesn't feel as academic as most books with such a stats volume would. Recommended read, especially for thin privileged people to investigate their biases against fat people and why they have them.
