An anti-fatphobia writer penned an oped for NBC THINK that warned readers how efforts to promote health in the workplace marginalize fat people.<\/a><\/p>\n

“As a fat person, I hate the first few weeks of January with a fiery passion,” communication strategist Kate Bernyk wrote. “Following every holiday season, there\u2019s seemingly no escape from the weight loss industrial complex.”<\/p>\n

Benryk railed against health initiatives in the workplace, noting that it can’t be ignored like social media posts.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I might be able to easily report social ads and mute friends, but how do I escape an email from human resources encouraging staff to join a team weight loss challenge with monthly weigh-ins?” she asked. “Or a boss who encourages her whole team to buy Fitbits so we can compete on daily steps? (Both were real things that happened at two of my former jobs.)”<\/p>\n

BILL MAHER SLAMS AMERICA’S \u2018FAT ACCEPTANCE\u2019 MOVEMENT AS \u2018ORWELLIAN,\u2019 SUPPORTERS HAVE \u2018BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS\u2019<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The author suggested that fat Americans should be one of the groups included in diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Employers seem to rarely consider fat people<\/a> when putting together their Diversity, Equity and Inclusion goals,” Benryk wrote. “But creating a space for plus-size employees to feel welcome has just as much to do with diversity and inclusion as any other group.”<\/p>\n

The author went on to claim that “fat is not a reliable indicator of health,” and that “fatphobic-related measures like BMI and fat percentage” are unreliable means of assessing health.\u00a0<\/p>\n

DR. PHIL SPARS WITH \u2018BODY POSITIVITY’ ACTIVIST WHO REJECTS SCIENCE FROM ‘MIDDLE-AGED WHITE\u2019 DOCTORS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Benryk proposed what employers should be doing instead.<\/p>\n

“Weight discrimination and anti-fat bias could be included in workplace harassment training,” she wrote. “And any workplace wellness program that specifically incentivizes weight loss<\/a> should be acknowledged as harmful and ended immediately.”<\/p>\n

The author stated that her weight should not be associated with her ability to perform at her chosen career.<\/p>\n

“The size of my body has nothing to do with my work. I recognize this sometimes may not be true for certain professions (one of many fine reasons I\u2019m not a jockey or a cave diver),” she wrote, later claiming her usefulness, “cannot be measured by a scale.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
