Abstract

The eradication of fatness (referred to as "obesity") is a longtime project of the medical establishment under the guise of health promotion. However, in spite of the large budgets, amount of studies done, and number of interventions tried over the years, the weights of the population still seem to be trending upward. Recent studies and research have been looking into frameworks aimed at combating fatness by reshaping the "obesogenic" environment as an approach that takes into account the social and physical environment and its part in promoting fatness. On its face, this research direction looks as if the discourse is changing from seating the fault of fatness at the feet of the individual and placing it more into the social systems and factors surrounding them. In this paper, I will challenge the continued conversation around "solving" fatness by looking at the role of the environment as a causal factor and will instead highlight the need to focus more on the impacts of a fatphobic environment on the wellness of fat people.

致肥与恐肥:环境与肥胖关系的研究。
消除肥胖(称为“肥胖”)是医疗机构在促进健康幌子下的一项长期项目。然而,尽管有大量的预算,做了大量的研究,多年来尝试了许多干预措施,人口的体重似乎仍然呈上升趋势。最近的研究一直在寻找旨在通过重塑“致肥”环境来对抗肥胖的框架,作为一种考虑到社会和物理环境及其在促进肥胖中的作用的方法。从表面上看,这个研究方向看起来好像话语正在从把肥胖的错误归咎于个人的脚下,更多地把它放在社会制度和周围的因素上。在本文中,我将挑战围绕“解决”肥胖的持续对话,通过将环境视为一个因果因素的角色,并将强调需要更多地关注肥胖恐惧症环境对肥胖者健康的影响。

期刊介绍: History and Philosophy of the Life Sciences is an interdisciplinary journal committed to providing an integrative approach to understanding the life sciences. It welcomes submissions from historians, philosophers, biologists, physicians, ethicists and scholars in the social studies of science. Contributors are expected to offer broad and interdisciplinary perspectives on the development of biology, biomedicine and related fields, especially as these perspectives illuminate the foundations, development, and/or implications of scientific practices and related developments. Submissions which are collaborative and feature different disciplinary approaches are especially encouraged, as are submissions written by senior and junior scholars (including graduate students).
