More, Please - On Food, Fat, Bingeing, Longing, and the Lust for "Enough"

An unflinching and deeply reported look at the realities of binge-eating disorder from a rising culture commentator and writer for Vogue. Millions of us use restrictive diets, intermittent fasting, IV therapies, and Ozempic abuse to shrink until we are sample-size acceptable. But for the 30 million Americans who live with eating eating disorders, it isn’t just about less. More, Please is a chronicle of a lifelong fixation with food—its power to soothe, to comfort, to offer a fleeting escape from the outside world—as well as an examination of the ways in which compulsory thinness, diet culture, and the seductive promise of “wellness� have resulted in warping countless Americans’ relationship with healthy eating. Melding memoir, reportage, and in-depth interviews with some of the most prominent and knowledgeable commentators currently writing about body shape and fatness, “emotional eating� and our disorders with food—Jennifer Weiner, Marisa Meltzer, Virgie Tovar, Leslie Jamison , and others—Emma Specter explores binge-eating disorder as both a personal problem and a societal one. In More, Please she provides a context, a history, and a language for what it means to always want more than you’ll allow yourself to have.
