Title: Misses the point
Product review: I am sympathetic to the difficulties of going through life being fat. However these types of conspiracy arguments - "patriarchy is making you chase an impossible dream" - totally miss the point. We are getting fatter and fatter as a society. We were nowhere nearly this fat 100 years ago, and there is hardly any obesity in less developed societies. Do you ever see overweight animals? Only when domesticated. Furthermore, there are myriad health problems that are caused in direct proportion to how fat you are. I state this as a physician whose practice has dealt in large part with obesity related issues.So if anything, the argument should be: big businesses/civilization have made us all fat. Not being overweight is the state of nature and what we should shoot for. I realize this is difficult to achieve in our stressful, mechanized lives but it should at least remain our goal.
