The obesity rate in America is over 40 percent. That is insane. But rather than figure out how we can prevent more of that and get people healthier, a fat studies journal is trying to see different viewpoints because apparently the field is currently saturated with Anglo-American contexts.

And no, it is not clear what that means except for the fact that we can safely assume this is their pathetic attempt to condone gluttony and laziness.

According to The College Fix:

“Fat studies” might be too “Anglo-American,” according to editors at an academic journal that studies “fatness.”

The editors of Fat Studies: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Body Weight and Society, said they want to see different viewpoints in a call for papers for an issue to come out in October 2025. The journal previously fell for a hoax “grievance studies” paper about “fat bodybuilding.”

I never thought I would hear the phrase "fat bodybuilder" but in 2024, sanity has reached unimaginable lows and this should not be surprising.

“Theory and conceptual explorations that have been developed in Anglo-American contexts run the risk of being understood as universal rather than national/regional,” the editors wrote. “This forces e.g. Europe-based scholarship to translate the field into their specific contexts.”

Uhhh what??? What are they even trying to say? Do they even know what they are trying to say? Would they prefer it if fat studies were catered to Islam or some other culture?

Hand it to liberals for always turning something into an issue that is definitely not an issue.

Editor-in-Chief Carla Pfeffer did not respond to two emailed requests for comment sent in the past month that asked for more information on how to spread fat studies and what the lack of papers meant.

She is a sociologist at Michigan State University and also studies LGBT issues.

Her research interests include “chest-binding practices among transgender and non-binary populations” and other LGBT health topics, according to her personal website.

Not a surprise that “fat studies” is more sociology than actual science. And no one should ever take advice from someone who claims people need to bind their chest to affirm their feelings. Because that is not even remotely close to health.

Academics wishing to be published in this special edition have some topics to choose from.

They include: “The intersections of fatness and other marginalized positionalities in European contexts,” “The dialectic between Anglo-American fat studies and European scholarship,” and “Fat activism across Europe,” according to the journal.

I am still having trouble seeing what these people are even trying to do and what the point of “fat activism” is or what it intends to accomplish.

One of the most abhorrent movements in Western society is the body positivity movement. Not only is it gross but it is deranged and contributes to the denial many people suffer from that tells them it is healthy to be fat. Which is an oxymoron, at best.

But just because the truth hurts, does not mean fat people are suddenly victims. Being fat is nowhere near a "marginalized" community. And if someone's weight bugs them so much that they are fighting to change the "viewpoints" in journals, the problem almost certainly lies with them and not the "academic journal that studies fatness.”
