After a year of exploring wellness culture and its discriminatory foundations, I've identified 10 arguments people use to justify discrimination against fat people—and I'm dismantling every single one. From the "health concern" disguise to the false claim that being fat is a choice, from economic justifications to the burden of proof fallacy, these arguments collapse under scrutiny.
The truth is simpler and darker: discrimination against fat people isn't justified by evidence or ethics—it's justified because it makes people feel morally superior, saves institutions money, and allows society to continue a comfortable prejudice. When people are dying in real-time because doctors deny them care, calling it "medical reality" doesn't make it less harmful—it makes it systemic violence dressed up as medicine.
