The third paragraph of the article begins addressing this. I'm not sure how you think it's taboo when it's been almost the only prong of our society's approach to obesity. "Guys just eat less lol". And when it doesn't work it's "Man is it taboo to say it or something? Can someone find out if the fats are receiving the message?" And when people find out society is trying other approaches to fight obesity like surgery or Ozempic, it's "Wait, have we tried the only thing that we've been trying for 100 years?"
