The Body Positivity Movement is in Trouble
Our culture is obsessed with losing weight, there’s no denying it. But is denying the health risks of obesity any better?
You can’t help someone up a hill,
Without getting closer to the top yourself”
TENAFLY, NEW JERSEY, UNITED STATES, December 13, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Our culture is obsessed with losing weight, there’s no denying it. But is denying the health risks of obesity any better?— Joey Dweck
From borderline unhealthy dieting and exercise “tips” across social media to the rise in popular trends like Whole30 and intermittent fasting, it looks like we as a society are so consumed with wanting to be skinny (read: not necessarily healthy) that we’ll do pretty much anything to accomplish that end.
Surprisingly, though, in the world of the health vs. weight debate, there’s an...interesting subset of followers, known as HAES, or the “healthy at every size” movement.
This movement claims to stand for body acceptance and empowerment — but it does so at an extremely high cost.
What Is HAES?
Like many communities that originated from the depths of the internet, we’re not exactly sure where HAES came from or how long it’s been around. But one YouTuber, Kiana Docherty, took it upon herself to discuss the similarities between HAES and what we recognize today as the “fat acceptance” movement (spoiler alert: they’re one and the same.)
HAES’s official website touts the tenets of “compassionate self-care,” “body diversity,” and even “challenging scientific and cultural assumptions.” But in their quest to challenge “scientific” assumptions, it looks like they’re promoting the denial of science altogether.
