The pursuit
for low weight is remarkable in the modern world. In cultures where in
the past the weight was not a variable, are influenced by part of
western values.
There is no doubt that the excess of weight endangers health, however,
what is observed are esthetic values overlapping any other values.
Nowadays, OMS classifies obesity as a disease.
It should be clear that we cannot blame a person for this disease, even
if this does not depend exclusively on the person’s behavior (it is not
the case of obesity). It would bring negative and prejudiced behavior
and it would not bring any possibility of help.
