When Your Body Becomes Everyone's Business
A stranger corners you at a party, demanding to know why you look the way you do. Your doctor dismisses your symptoms without examination, insisting weight loss will cure everything. Family members monitor your plate at dinner, offering unsolicited advice wrapped in concern. This isn't a dystopian future-it's the daily reality for millions of fat people navigating a world that treats their bodies as public property, open for commentary, correction, and control. We live in a society where nearly 70% of Americans are categorized as "overweight" or "obese," yet anti-fatness remains one of the last socially acceptable forms of discrimination. The assumption underlying all this scrutiny? That fatness is simply a choice, a moral failing, a problem demanding an immediate solution. But what if everything we've been told about fat bodies is wrong?
