“A body-positivity activist has claimed that diet, exercise, and general promoting of healthy lifestyles are all examples of "conversation therapy" for fat people.”
Outspoken activist Monica Kriete, who's self-described objective is "imagining size-inclusive care & public health policy," issued a "periodic reminder" that "treating and preventing obesity" actually means "trying to conversion therapy fat people into becoming thin people despite 0 evidence this is remotely possible."
Kriete, a writer and consultant from central Pennsylvania who's "fighting weight stigma in public health & medicine," has since made her Twitter account with over 10,000 followers private following immense backlash on social media.
According to her Instagram bio, Kriete also blocks "diet accounts."
Back in March, she was a panelist at a Radical Public Health event called "Unlearning Fatphobia: Moving Toward Fat Liberation in Public Health
The push for destigmatizing obesity has gained traction among progressive groups, with the mainstream media shining a spotlight on the weight-affirming activism.”
