Discrimination is a problem in this country has changed considerably throughout its history. People have been presented separately for the different characteristics, they do not change - ethnicity or ethnic origin, skin colour, race or sex. As a non-discrimination on the basis of these characteristics is less and less in American society, which began ABC News, a new discrimination - discrimination weight - and debt in the food industry and government to the problem. “Accordingly, the researchers say discrimination is the weight spiral upwards, which is a dangerous trend, the oil production in the obesity epidemic,” formerly “Los Angeles Times” Science writers Lee Dye wrote on April 2 for ABC.com. “Weight Discrimination” does not occur within the parameters of employment and relations almost every day, as often as racial discrimination, and in some cases even more often than discrimination on the basis of sex or age, “relates researchers in the latest issue of the International Journal of Obesity “,” Dye In its report on a new study. Unlike other discriminatory elements in society, weight, in some cases, it is an individual thing can change, but there are other uncontrollable factors, an individual weight - such as genetics and certain diseases. But after ABC articles, weight problems are not just the guilt of the individual - and not the food industry for the manufacture of certain foodstuffs “accessible” and “equitable”. “We live in an environment of highly toxic food,” Rebecca Puhl, says the author of the report, ABC News. “We are very easy for people to unhealthy. Malsaines foodstuffs, food or junk, accessible, inexpensive and lightweight taste very, very good. Healthy food, such as produce, which are not as accessible, and are far too expensive. ” Puhl, even blame the importance of personal responsibility for supporting “our billions of dollars of the regime in the industry.” “We attach great importance to personal liability for body weight,” she said. “Our food billion of the industry is based on the premise. Your weight is modifiable. But that does not reflect the state current science. we know by hundreds of randomized, controlled clinical studies, it is very difficult to maintain weight loss over time with our existing treatment methods. ” Dye are not experts who disagree with the findings of Puhl, or someone in the food industry to meet their interventions on the toxic food. ” Dye, it is concluded that discrimination occurred, in whatever, but government debt - especially to the federal law - for the final language, which is not against it. “So people who are overweight, and that, whatever the cause, the responsibility for its excesses and it is OK discriminate against her, at least according to the law and cultural norms,” wrote Dye. |
