The Passion for Health
Bias against fat people remains the last socially acceptable prejudice. It’s in science, the world, and in healthcare. Plus-size women encounter prejudice in almost every type of health care setting, but for some reason, it seems particularly harsh in maternity care. Women are bullied and shamed into doing things that are not healthy, such as a 15-pound weight gain during their pregnancies or an unnecessary cesarean. What’s worse, many providers feel justified when they act this way, claiming only to be concerned about the mother’s health. When providers say, “It’s just not healthy,” they are often hiding baser feelings that have little to do with the health of the mother and more to do with providers’ sense of aesthetics (“it’s not attractive”), and even their sense of right or wrong (“fat = lazy, undisciplined, poor, dumb, etc.”).
