      incidentally I dont think this matters object level because obesity is not going to become high status no matter how people try but this is just complete institution meltdown

          The system has produced an elite cadre of senior scientist-bureaucrats whose job is fighting over funding. They don't do science at all, but they get their names on every paper that comes out of their lab/factory.

          given the dates and the players, this seems like it's not even necessarily associated with the modern culture war -- more like, she got in the way of consent-manufacturing for the public health establishment

          Covid proved beyond a doubt that long term unhealthy weight does tremendous damage to the body. Metabolic syndrome is tied to everything from cancer to heart disease to literally destroying livers in the same way alcohol use does (see NASH).https://www.cnbc.com/2021/03/08/covid-cdc-study-finds-roughly-78percent-of-people-hospitalized-were-overweight-or-obese.html …

          The data was so conclusive that many states gave first priority for vaccines to obese people.https://nashaware.com/2020/06/18/obesity-is-a-major-risk-factor-in-covid-19-cases-perhaps-the-largest/ …

          In many times and places obesity was or is high-status. No obvious reason that can't ever change, though you may well be right that it's not a change campaigners are able to *cause*.

          I definitely think it matters object level, as someone down 20 pounds (out of a 30 goal), for thinking about this decision. I'm losing weight purely out of vanity, but if it actually does decrease my life expectancy, I'd at least like to know, if not possibly act on it.

          IIRC, the findings were that BMI of 25-30 was associated with slightly *lower* excess mortality, while the excess deaths for obesity (BMI>=30) were about 1/3 of what was previously reported. I wouldn't take those findings as personalized medical advice, though.
