[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the HAES hater is fundamentally misunderstanding the movement. It’s not that “every person at any size is healthy,” it’s that every person can make healthier choices and can enjoy better health, at any size. So HAES encourages me to take a walk around the block and drink more water, even if I don’t lose any weight as a result. HAES says don’t go on a restricted diet, but do choose healthier foods. Meet people where they are. [/quote]

Your interpretation of HAES isn’t what they started off as. Their original purpose was to oppose the mainstream scientific consensus that obesity led to adverse health outcomes. Over time they have softened their stance because they have literally been unable to produce any rigorous evidence that their claims are true. I see them as the anti-vaxxers of obesity. https://www.medicaldaily.com/health-every-size-obesity-weight-loss-science-383008[/quote]

The article you linked defines HAES exactly as the first person above does?  Not sure why you linked it to back up your “anti-vaxxers of obesity” claim but it’s a good description of the movement and why many people at very least support it’s claims if not the entire movement...[/quote]
