You Have the Right to Remain Fat

In this book, Virgie Tovar delves into her personal journey of overcoming decades of dieting and guilt, and her subsequent advocacy for fat liberation.

Tovar critiques diet culture, sexist notions of fashion, and the societal pressures that force fat people to wait for their 'best lives.

' The book combines candid essays with cultural criticism, aiming to embolden fat individuals to live freely and happily at any size.

It also explores the intersections of fatphobia with sexism, racism, and classism, and calls for a world where bodies are valued equally and food is free from moral judgment.
