[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I also think that the people who make weight a moral and willpower issue are to blame. The obesogenic industries (sugar, plastics, big agriculture, etc.) love these people, because they do their dirty work. There won't be effective societal change until people recognize that individual willpower has no real impact on long term weight management as compared to systemic and industrial impacts. Essentially, we need to have a Big Tobacco moment as a society. I don't think we will, though, because the folks who adore shaming fat people enjoy it too much. They like the power trip and won't give it up. [/quote] 100% agree with this. Why does our country need to make systemic problems into individual ones? There needs to be individual responsibility, but we just set people up to fail in this country. Especially with respect to food purity, stress (cost of medical bills, childcare, college and real estate) and lack of paid leave. [/quote]
