[HotAir] Eating disorders are rampant in the West, and when you add the unhealthy foods that our "food science" and marketing geniuses push on us, the result is an explosion in obesity. Not too long ago, anorexia was the problem du jour in the United States, and it still exists and needs to be taken seriously, but the most prevalent eating disorders in the West today are those tied to bad diets that make people extremely fat.
There is a movement that pushes hard to increase fat acceptance, and it has invaded every aspect of our culture. At base, the argument is simple: our culture and our healthcare industry have been captured by an ideology of fatphobia that tries to convince people that being thin and fit is superior to being obese, and that ideology is based on a pernicious lie.
This is, of course, totally absurd.
...Fat influencers are now dropping like flies, being taken far too young because they have become immersed in the "healthy at any size" ideology. |
