Потом, какая может быть ненависть в Штатах например, где 70% если не больше толстые? В школах может быть да, но там дети, а дети вообще жестокие создания.
Чтобы не быть голословной, я нашла статью, которую читала где-то пару месяцев назад. Детей и подростков не будем включать, договорились -- дети жестоки. Речь о взрослых, вполне нормальных -- например, врачах, медсёстрах, мед.студентах. "Ненависть к толстым" -- это эмоциональная писательская формулировка, на сухом языке академической науки это звучит как stigma of obesity.
Что же думают мед.спецы о своих пациетах?
Physicians.
In a study of over 620 primary care physicians, >50% viewed obese patients as awkward, unattractive, ugly, and noncompliant. One-third of the sample further characterized obese patients as weak-willed, sloppy, and lazy.
Nurses.
Recent research has also demonstrated negative attitudes toward obese patients among nurses. A 2006 review of research focusing on nurses’ attitudes toward adult overweight and obese patients reported that nurses consistently express biased attitudes toward obese patients, reflecting common weight-based stereotypes that obese patients are lazy, lacking in self-control, and noncompliant.
Medical students.
One study (N = 420) found that nearly one-third of dental students acknowledged having negative reactions toward the appearance of obese patients, 30% felt that obese people are lazier than nonobese people, 26% felt that obese people lacked willpower and motivation, 18% were uncomfortable examining an obese patients, and 17% considered it difficult to feel empathy for an obese patient.
Так, а что же диетологи?
Dietitians.
Dietitians are not immune to weight bias. Berryman and colleagues assessed negative attitudes toward obesity among dietetics and nondietetics students.Both groups (N = 76) exhibited moderate levels of fat phobia as a whole and16% of both groups exhibited high levels of fat phobia. The majority of students (ranging from 71 to 91%) agreed or strongly agreed with the stereotypes that overweight people overeat, are inac-
tive, slow, insecure, shapeless, and have no endurance, low self-esteem, and poor self-control.
На мой взгляд, самое проблематичное то, что люди с лишним весом откладывают визит к врачам в критических ситуациях.
Вот это серьёзно:
Obese patients who experience stigma in health-care settings may delay or forgo obesity essential preventive care.
Several studies show that obese persons are less likely to undergo age-appropriate screenings for breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer.
According to a study published in 2010 by the Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity at Yale University,
overweight women were at a higher risk of being misdiagnosed, less likely to have cancer detected early on, and were less able to find fertility doctors willing to treat them. It’s clear that doctors are not exempt from the attitudes towards weight that exist in our society. This existing stigma can also further deter overweight people from even seeking medical care.
И, наконец:
The prevalence of weight discrimination in the United States has increased by 66% over the past decade.
