Which is the greater cause of fat people, the people themselves, or the food industry?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:Food industry, hands down. Sure, some people can work on their lifestyle or heath- but many of those are people who never get looked down upon for their bodies. Many seemingly ‘fat’ people exercise more and eat better than apparently healthy ones. Some folks healthy weight doesn’t align with popular cultural ‘standards’, and some very unhealthy or just super-unusual body shapes/sizes do. You can do plenty of research on how & why body weight isn’t directly relational with health, if you’re up for it. The lovely Audrey Hepburn, whose style & personality helped to bring about the current prizing of ‘thin’ over even 50’s curvy in many circles had seriously inadequate nutrition as a child during WWII, apparently. And there’s ads out there from the 50s & even early 60s for products that make you “beautiful” by gaining weight. Anyone can research it themselves; at least one example is on multiple sites. Cultural cosmetic or ‘moral’ standards masquerading as ‘for the good of’ overweight people can actually cause major, observable damage to people wellbeing, mental health wise and in terms of healthy behavior. Because of all the above, I find it to be not at all a virtue to somehow ‘help’ others by treating them poorly, and beyond absurd to equate body size with morality, as some actually do. There’s much better, more informed writing out there on the subject from those who have way more authority than I to speak about the subject, whether coming from personal, nutritional or public health or other relevant perspectives… they’re worth seeking out if this subject interests you! Personally, We should question why we’re so quick to question or even hassle individuals but not large industries (eg. lobbying for subsidies for foods proven to be unhealthy &tc. and marketing this to children and hospitals on a regular basis!) Some may even argue that it’s acceptable, if that’s one’s authentic wish, to harm oneself. Few, however, could attempt to reasonably argue that it’s advisable to encourage others to harm themselves, nevermind spend millions of dollars a year towards encouraging others to eat junk and to disregard countless nutritional studies. Who knows, perhaps people would shift their eating habits a bit if unhealthy food were less pervasive and cheap? Sure, affordable food is great, but if you’re in an unsecure economic position, you need the best quality nutrition you can afford!
