\nThe pushb ack that shows up in conversations about fat justice takes exceedingly pre dicable form. Losing weight is easy&mdash\;calories in\, calories out. Fat people are unhealthy. We&rsquo\;re in the midst of an obesity epidemic. F at acceptance &ldquo\;glorifies obesity.&rdquo\; The BMI is an objective m easure of size and health. Yet\, these myths are as readily debunked as th ey are pervasive. In &ldquo\;You Just Need to Lose Weight\,&rdquo\; Aubrey Gordon equips listeners with the facts and figures to reframe myths about fatness in order to dismantle the anti-fat bias ingrained in how we think about and treat fat people. Bringing her dozen years of community organiz ing and training to bear\, Gordon shares the rhetorical approaches she and other organizers employ to not only counter these pernicious myths\, but to dismantle the anti-fat bias that so often underpin them.
