Saguy news saying that the so-called "obesity epidemic" is overblown. Paragraph after paragraph, this just knocks out all of the lies we're fed news about fat. ...discussions of obesity's potential health risk can offer "a thinly veiled language through which to extend judgments of responsibility, blame and morality," the study warns. Such finger pointing, in turn, may worsen the stigma and discrimination faced by fat people. In addition to potentially offending those the anti-obesity activists hope to reach, the approach raises issues of class and race. |
