Ugh that post has gotten me thinking about fat acceptance in a way I havenât in years. Iâve read more studies about weight and health than probably any other topic Iâve ever researched. And every time I see someone wail about health I am just like
Did you know that in post-mortem examinations there is zero correlation between weight and levels of arteriosclerosis and related diseases found?
Did you know that people with an overweight BMI have the longest life expectancy, that those with an âidealâ and an âobeseâ have about the same life expectancy, and that being âunderweightâ raises mortality rates more than being âmorbidly obeseâ?
Did you know that losing weight and then gaining it back is worse for your heart than remaining at the weight you started consistently?
Did you know that 95% of people who lose weight do gain it back, and there has never been a single documented weight loss program that has been demonstrated to keep the weight off for five years or more in the majority or even a significant minority of people? Like, telling people to lose weight isnât much use if we donât know HOW to make that happen.
Like I have read The Obesity Myth by Paul Campos and Rethinking Thin by Gina Kolata and Big Fat Lies by Glenn A Gaesser (Ph.D!) And Fat!So? and several other books that I donât own and so donât remember all of their names I spent like four years reading every single study coming out and looking at the methodology and noting which ones had huge holes or terrible methods and which didnât (the holes were almost always in the pro-weight-loss studies) and like
Big Fat Lies has 27 pages of bibliography. 27 pages worth of scientific citation. The book content itself is only 197 pages. Thatâs a page of references for every 7 pages of book. Reading the book is just reference after reference and study after study. Most of these doctors (like Linda Bacon, author of Health at Every Size) started out the same way. They wanted to use the scientific method to find a real weight loss program or health solution that worked and could be proven to work, and so studied everything they could about weight and fitness only to find out that we didnât need weight loss in the first place. That all the studies calling for it were lacking or nonexistent. That weight and underlying metabolic health have very little relation. That the history of our relationship with health and obesity has little basis in fact and a LOT of basis in capitalism, politics, and fashion. No, really, the association between weight and health was first proposed by insurance companies looking for ways to charge people more by claiming risk. They also charged tall and short people more. And people with different skin colors. When they got in trouble for charging people for things they had no control over and had no bearing on their health, they set out to prove that weight was controllable and that fat was unhealthy to make money.Â
These are also a lot of the same people who went on to invent the Presidentâs fitness program, so if you went to public school you probably already hate them.Â
Anyway, if you want a place to start reading about the issue, this article is a pretty good launching pad.Â
This casual rant is like a primer on weight science. Amazing. I second their book recommendations, and would add to the list Body Respect by Drs Bacon & Aphramor, Body of Truth by journalist Harriet Brown, and Whatâs Wrong with Fat? by UCLA professor of sociology Abigail Saguy.

When your child says âWhy canât I get a puppy?â
Instead of defaulting to âMy house, my rulesâ
Try âAny pet is a lot of responsibility. A puppy would have to be fed, walked, and taken outside to use the bathroom several times a day and taken for regular check-ups and vaccinations at the vet. You canât do all of that by yourself, and I/we donât have the time or money either.â
When your teenager says âWhy canât I come home at 2:00 this Saturday?â
Instead of defaulting to âMy house, my rules!â
Try âThe time you come home is a matter of respect and consideration. I/We will not only be concerned for your safety, but we would either be disturbed in the middle of the night when you arrive or forced to stay up for several extra hours waiting.â
When your child says âWhy am I not allowed to do this thing?â
Instead of defaulting to âMy house, my rules!â
Try actually communicating a legitimate reason, because children pick up on subtlety and on context and on the unspoken messages, and itâs better to teach children lessons like âYou should think really hard before taking on new responsibilitiesâ and âItâs important to show consideration for the needs of the people with whom you share a living spaceâ than lessons like âItâs okay for people to demand your absolute obedience so long as youâre dependent on them for survival.â
yupppppp
