摘要: The belief that obese people ought to lose weight and keep it off is widespread, has a profound negative impact on the lives of obese. I argue in this paper most have no such obligation, even if obesity bad, caused by calorie input exceeding output. Obese do not an obligation achieve long-term loss impossible for them, worse than alternative, or requires enormous effort relation what stands be gained option supererogatory rather obligatory. It highly plausible fall into one these three groups. Politicians may still obligations fight obesity, but they so through progressive politics blaming shaming.
