A lecturer at The University of Virginia told students that obesity is 'mainly genetics' and claimed that avoiding the term 'fat' is 'inherently fatphobic.'
University of Virginia students were told that refraining fromis"inherently fatphobic" and weight"rarely has to do" with personal choices, according to audio obtained by Campus Reform.
During the lecture, Brennhofer said"the word 'fat' is actually inherently fatphobic" because it"signals to fat people and really everybody, that [fatness] is bad" and"thin is good." She ended her presentation with a"call to action," urging students to stop labeling food as"good and bad" and to cease"medicalizing" a person's body through specific terms.An image of an overweight boy consulting with doctor in her office.
"So, I feel like I'm actually doing you a disservice and worsening your health by telling you what to do to lose weight because I know you're not going to be able to do it long-term."
