The war on obesity has branched out to cover not just the appearance of bodies, but also their health, intelligence and worthiness. The War tells us that if our bodies are fat then they are unhealthy, ugly, unattractive and not worthy of love.

We are told that thin is the same as healthy and that we can’t have health without attaining a “healthy weight”.
