If you create enough moral panic, you can create a sense of “no matter the cost might be, we must incur it,” because otherwise this catastrophe of the out-of-control fattening of the population will continue. So that’s one factor. Another factor is that people message boards engage in various kinds of rationalizations to deal with beliefs and impulses and emotions that message boards would otherwise be extremely disturbing to them. For instance, I think that at the bottom of the obesity myth in the United States is very much the emotional visceral judgment that being fat is disgusting. That’s what is really fueling the obesity myth in America. Since people are socialized, especially in the upper classes to think that it is not okay to treat other people as disgusting just because they are different, one has to come up with some rationalization and the rationalization is that being fat must be horrible for your health. “That’s why it is disgusting to us. These people, those people are endangering themselves and others.”
