The Menopause Manifesto: Own Your Health with Facts and Feminism by Jen Gunter

informative
2.0
Repeats the advice throughout the book to lose weight without acknowledging concerns raised by folks like Aubrey Gordon about how low-quality research is used to justify fatphobic messages, and the impacts of fatphobia on wellbeing.
I also wish she’d discussed issues related to racial and other socioeconomic inequities, like different levels of access to health care or unprocessed foods.
With those major caveats, I did think there was helpful info for people who have access to the resources (time, money, energy…) needed to act on it.

Gunter states purpose of the book is empowerment, but I got to 2nd chapter that started with “I’m here to scare you about X.” Big nope.
