I’m talking about deeply held beliefs you have that many might disagree with here or deem to be incompatible with Marxist ideology. I’m interested because I doubt everyone here is an ideological robot who all share the same uniformity in belief

    Everyone knows why they are fat. They consciously choose to binge ice cream tubs while watching shows, eat loads of pizzas and coke. Later, they cry about having health problems and being unable to gym it out, and probably even seek liposuction surgeries. People with disorders are almost rare enough that abusing a medical condition as an excuse is impossible.

      Most “fat” people don’t eat that way. Most Americans eat unhealthily, and I can’t deny that’s part of the obesity epidemic, but it’s mostly not based on individual choices, but on burgerland’s culture. There is also an aspect of bodytype, a whole lot of people eat really poorly and stay skinny or average, while many “fat” people can be as healthy as they want but never bring their weight down that much. It’s called genetics. The unhealthiness of USians will not be solved by “bringing back fat phobia,” but by creating a culture that promotes better diet and exercise.
