Fat Acceptance Is Dangerous

I do agree with you in the sense that fat doesn"t necessarily mean unhealthy. After all, The type of fat and the amount of fat in your body greatly determine how healthy you are, And fat is part of our diet and composition. But too much of anything is never good especially when you take into consideration where the fat is being stored. That, I shall explain eventually. I did say before that this whole thing is not a black and white mentality. Skinny obviously doesn"t mean healthy. I could be heavier than you but healthier. After all, Many athletes are considered overweight but what the scales don"t tell you is body composition. Many athletes are heavy because of their muscle while others are heavier because of their fat. I also know for a fact that fat doesn"t necessarily have to be outwardly presented, There"s something called skinny fat, Meaning people who are skinny happen to have their body mostly composed of fat. You really don"t have to have a big butt and gut. And of course, I didn"t forget that there"s diseases like anorexia and malnutrition from being extremely underweight, Picky, Or whatever the cause may be. The thing is, In rich and modern countries, That is not really the case anymore. Food is no longer an issue and is constantly available all around us, We are on a completely different side of the spectrum. We are just getting bigger. Now about the sumo wrestlers, They are definitely healthier because they engage in vigorous activity and follow some sort of regime. But we mustn"t forget what kind of audience the Fat Acceptance movement consists of. A good portion of overweight or obese audience members are not like sumo wrestlers because the majority of them do not engage in as much activity as sumo wrestlers and I can guarantee that the majority of them do not follow a strict regime. That is why the message they"re getting out is concerning. They"re basically telling them to sugarcoat their problems or potential problems and just accept themselves as they are especially when you take into consideration what countries embrace fat acceptance. Fat acceptance was founded in the US and is widely embraced there, It"s also become a thing in places like the UK and Australia of which those countries are already experiencing the consquences. Overall, "the most common causes of obesity are overeating and physical inactivity" in the US which is completely opposite of what sumo wrestlers do. Because of this, 109, 342, 839 people in the US are obese making it one of the heaviest nations in the world. Now, The placement of fat. You said that that sumo wrestlers are fat and healthy but you did miss something very crucial. The conception of fat is not "black and white" as I said in my first argument. Firstly: "The study revealed that although the wrestlers have enormous bellies, Most of their abdominal fat is stored immediately under the skin, And not behind the stomach wall within the gut or visceral area. In fact, Sumo wrestlers had about half of the visceral fat of regular people with visceral obesity. " The fact that the fat they store doesn"t affect their organs makes them much more healthier than fat people in places like the US or UK. It is not surprising to find millions of people losing their lives to such issues. This leads to my second point. Secondly: "the most significant cause of death were diseases of the heart which were responsible for 23. 1 percent of all deaths in the United States. " "The CDC doesn't list obesity as a cause of death. Instead, It lists heart disease as the No. 1 cause, Killing nearly 598, 000 people a year, While cancer kills 575, 000. Overall, Nearly 2. 5 million Americans died in 2010. " As you can see, It so happens that being overweight and obese correlates with the majority of these deaths. https://www. Nbcnews.
