Everything You Know About Obesity Is Wrong
For decades, the medical community has ignored mountains of evidence to wage a cruel and futile war on fat people, poisoning public perception and ruining millions of lives. It's time for a new paradigm.

“Diets do not work. Not just paleo or Atkins or Weight Watchers or Goop, but all diets. Since 1959, research has shown that 95 to 98 percent of attempts to lose weight fail and that two-thirds of dieters gain back more than they lost. The reasons are biological and irreversible. “

Fatsplaining at its finest. I don’t give a fuck when someone chooses to not be healthy, but don’t sit there and make bullshit excuses and blame anything other than yourself and your lack of self control. Take responsibility and own up to it, you’re not fooling anyone.

I’m sorry other people’s shapes make you so angry that you pretend science is wrong

Obviously this person must think climate change is wrong and vaccines cause autism

The author of the article, Michael Hobbes, hosts a podcast with Sarah Marshall called You’re Wrong About… where they “circle back to an event, person or trend that’s been misremembered in the public imagination.” While I’ve never gotten around to reading the article (it’s still sitting in my Pocket queue where it’s estimated at about a 30 minute read time…) I have listened to their very good episode on the topic that as I understand it is basically the article in conversational audio form: https://rottenindenmark.wordpress.com/2018/09/19/the-obesity-epidemic/

(also it’s a damn good podcast in general)
