Anti-fat bigotry is the likely culprit. Diets are overwhelmingly unsuccessful, and the majority of those sho lose weight gain back even more. So, the more dieters there are, the greater the extent of “obesity” (I prefer the term “fatness”).

It happens that I know a bit about being fat and being the target of harsh judgments. I welcome interactions with any who are open-minded. I am on FaceBook and Messenger as Harry Minot and my email is hminot (at) aol (dot) com.
