[Breitbart] Medical research from the University of East Anglia in the UK suggests that the normalization of "plus-size" bodies has led to an increased risk of obesity.
Breitbart News has been covering the modern fat acceptance movement since it found it’s home on college campuses throughout the United States. Take "fat sex therapist" Sonalee Rashatwar, who spoke at the University of Vermont this March. Rashatwar encouraged students to "throw" their "scales in the trash." Earlier that month, the prestigious Johns Hopkins University hosted Linda Bacon, who pioneered a movement entitled "Health at Every Size," which encourages women to believe that they can be healthy at literally any body size. This semester, Yale University hosted "fat acceptance" activist Virgie Tovar, who argues that being fat is a revolutionary political act because society shuns the overweight.
In January 2017, I penned a column in response to a feminist magazine article that argued that "weight loss doesn’t actually improve health." The column received an overwhelming 19,900 Facebook shares. |
