We see a movement saying that we are becoming so focused on what the term to be "healthism" and claim that many people are obese due to genetics and disorders that can cause weight gain. People are not blaming themselves and trying to blame genetics as they do nothing to change their habits of going to McDonalds every other day.
They even denounce many accurate studies and appeal to emotions rather than logic while we have to pay for their medical issues that obviously aren't caused by their weight. It's a nature vs nuture thing, with many HAES activists claiming that weight is solely based on nature when, at the end of the day, only you decide what you put into your body.
Are we truly seeing one of the worst movements to date: a movement based on ignorance and self-delusion? I personally think so, but I want to hear what everyone else thinks.

I'd love to agree, but there are some people who simply cannon stop gaining weight. I have a friend that is gluten free, that runs, dances, and is so healthy that sometimes when we go eat somewhere I'll be the only one eating. She is very healthy and takes great care of herself. She isn't fat, but she should look very fit. She doesn't. Doctors know something is wrong with her hormonally but they don't know what. They keep telling her to eat healthy and exercise regularly but she already does. It's not her choice. She does everything in her power to stay fit
