Pushback

I like that in this article there is some pushback to the Fat Acceptance child-harming trend of, “It doesn’t matter that little Sally is the size of a house. Let her ‘intuitively eat’ 20 slices of cake so she has to be rolled to the school bus every morning.”

Dr. Elsie Taveras, the division chief of general academic pediatrics at Massachusetts General Hospital and a specialist in childhood obesity, warned against a โ€œnone of this worksโ€ approach, asking, โ€œWhat are we supposed to do with this large number of children who not just have obesity but severe obesity and its associated chronic diseases โ€” do we not think that some changes in their nutrition are warranted? Wouldnโ€™t you call that unethical to not offer treatment and support?โ€

The Fat Acceptance people, sponsored of course by the food industry, are literally criminal because of what they do to children and the vast harm they cause there, and are immoral and unethical in other ways that doesn’t stray into brute abusive criminality. The food industry execs, as with the execs of most major corporations are more to blame for their destruction of society and culture, but the FA types also bear some blame, too.

It was good to see one article not just buying into the absurd FA/food industry claims.
