Why should I trust the medical opinions of people who are not medical professionals? Does the 'Health at Any Size' movement have more rigorous and accurate evidence than the mountains doctors have regarding health and obesity? It doesn't seem so. There is a huge difference between acknowledging that obesity is a difficult thing to lose (and comes with its own consequences after the fact) and implying that because it is, we shouldn't even try. Nobody should just give up when it comes to issues of personal well-being. In a lot of ways the HAES movement is accepting of a society that facilitates the poor health of poor individuals. It wants to keep elements of the status quo even when it decries discrimination against overweight individuals. It is a social movement that does not promise much beneficial social change.
