Is weight loss a "Western value" that is political in nature and whose benefits are not "factual"?

They also argue that nutrition is not a “politically neutral science,” saying the concept of “critical nutrition” is predicated on the belief that “calls for healthy eating are never purely factual.”

my opinion: Here comes yet another excuse for the fatties!

Unless u r genetically programed 2 be a fattie there's no good excuse to be one and that's a sign of laziness.

I'd don't mind fat people. Fatness is an easy indicator of a low quality person. I just keep it short, and stay away.

I would even call into question, this genetically programmed BS, too.

A lot of what was taught to be healthy eating when I was growing up has since been found to be incorrect. Even now, there are a lot of different ideas on what constitutes healthy eating. I guess you could look at it as different philosophical options. Maybe they have it figured out, or maybe they don't.

The fact that the West needs weight loss is a luxury. If everyone was starving, obviously we wouldn't have fat people.

The last time I was in Vietnam, the most striking observations I made was I could hardly find any fattie.

In countries where food is scarce being overweight is seen as a very desirable trait
