Why It's OK to Be Fat

Most of us aren't quite sure: Is it really OK to be fat? In Why It's OK to Be Fat, Rekha Nath convincingly argues conventional views of fatness in Western societies-as a pathology to be fixed or as a moral failing-are ill-conceived.

Rekha Nath is Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Alabama, USA. She works in moral and political philosophy.
