The fat acceptance movement is a social movement that seeks to remove the social stigma caused by various negative attitudes/beliefs related to obesity and/or excess overweight.
Given that the fields of nutritional science, exercise science, and the medical science field as a whole has a number of solutions to obesity]] and/or excess weight and given the multiple health risk of obesity and excess weight, the medical community has not endorsed the fat acceptance movement. In addition, public policy makers in many countries (especially developed countries) and the World Health Organization, actively warn the public about the risks of obesity and have other anti-obesity initiatives.[1]
The fat acceptance movement and Abrahamic faiths
Two of the major risk factors for becoming obese according to the Mayo Clinic are poor dietary choices and inactivity.[2]
The Bible declares that gluttony and sloth are sins.[3][4] Furthermore, the Bible declares the physical body of Christians to be temples of the Holy Spirit.[5] There have been no prominent Christian leaders in the world advocating the fat acceptance movement.
In addition, no Jewish or Islamic leaders have come out in support of the fat acceptance movement.
