I think this is put rather bluntly, and I've still got a bit to go probably to where I would call myself my ideal weight, so I say this with a certain empathy... but I really agree that obesity falls into a different category than most of what might be called "woke". What I perceive as a general normalization of obesity feels... very corporate, or certainly too convenient for corporate interests. Americans fail to consider many aspects of their lives regarding their health because they're trained to trust brands, and that doubly/triply extends to ignorance around diet and nutrition. Food, sex, alcohol. All vices that Americans glorify and demonize in nearly exactly the least effective ways. IDK, I don't want to preach but my body now, compared to with an extra 80-100lbs on it? It's hard to put into words how many aspects of my life are markedly better.
