What is fat logic?

Fat logic is a term used to describe a set of beliefs and attitudes that focus on justifying and rationalizing obesity and unhealthy behaviors related to weight management. This type of thinking often includes ideas such as "it's genetics," "diets don't work anyway," "I'm big-boned," and "health at every size." Fat logic tends to blame external factors such as societal pressures or genetics for weight problems, rather than acknowledging personal responsibility. Additionally, fat logic often dismisses scientific evidence regarding the dangers of obesity, including increased risks of heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.
