Except that research is showing that it's not actually as big of a factor as society tends to believe. Far from it. And, just like research had recently been realizing how skewed a lot of research has been because of racism and sexism, the same is true for fatphobia. But also, are people really advocating weight loss for health or to fit conventional standards of beauty? Like, if society as a whole wasn't so fatphobic, people would have much better attitudes towards food and their health in general. And, having a healthy mindset and approach to ones wellbeing is an incredibly important part of being able to effectively take care of yourself.

Ummm, this sounds dangerously close to the rhetoric that anti-vaxers and flat earners use
