This is disingenuous . Healthy at any size and body positivity are both significant movements with noticeable media campaigns on commercials, TV news, social media. Dismissing the confusing messaging is only adding to the confusion.
American's don't absorb messaging through scientific journals, their beliefs are first distilled through the above media channels. Plus there are plenty of bogus journals pushing "healthy at any size" and "body positivity"
Is being fat good or bad? If it's bad enough to take a drug, then we should also encourage other ways to discourage it.
Just because people don't diet, doesn't mean it's hard to do. People do a lot of unhealthy things where choosing the better alternative is just as easy.
