Let me start by saying this book hit me like a ton of bricks - in the best way possible. As someone who's read countless books on intuitive eating and anti-diet culture, Dalina Soto's perspective felt like a breath of fresh air that I didn't know I needed.

The way Soto connects modern diet culture to its racist roots was mind-blowing. I found myself constantly putting the book down just to process what I'd read. Her explanation linking diet trends to eugenics? Absolute game-changer that made me see everything differently.

What really stands out is how Soto celebrates food as more than just fuel. The personal stories about her family and community had me tearing up - you can feel the love and cultural pride radiating off every page. It's rare to find a nutrition book that makes you feel this emotionally connected.

Now for some real talk: there were moments that challenged me personally. As a white reader, some sections forced me to sit with uncomfortable truths about my own privilege. But that's exactly why this book is so important - it doesn't let anyone off the hook when it comes to dismantling harmful systems.

The only critique? A few parts felt slightly inconsistent with the overall message of food freedom, like when she draws lines about 'proper' intuitive eating. But these moments were far outweighed by the book's brilliance.

Whether you're Latine looking for representation in wellness spaces or anyone ready to unlearn diet culture's harmful messages, this book delivers powerful truths with warmth and humor. It's equal parts educational and deeply human - the kind of read that stays with you long after the last page.
