Fat Politics in Europe: Theorizing on the Premises and Outcomes of European Anti-“Obesity-Epidemic” Policies

The author discusses the discursive premises that were necessary for fatness to evolve as a political problem in Europe. He presents three possible conditions for this discursive reformulation, including the internationalization of the “obesity-epidemic” narrative, the emergence of healthism as a global trend in culture and science, and the appearance of activating social policies in a variety of European countries. On that theoretical basis, the author discusses the specific outcomes of anti-“obesity-epidemic” policies in Great Britain and Germany. Finally, the author contraposes two ideal-typical lines of criticism toward the current policies against (body) fat, indicating their particular shortcomings and proposing fat-accepting alternatives.
