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.
