Weight and social class.

Studies of obesity and poverty have shown that in advanced countries (in one specific study, the U.S. and Argentina) poor people have access to abundant amounts of food but food high in carbs, additives, sugars etc. and less access to healthy fresh produce. This results in an obesity problem for poor people in such food rich countries. OTOH, in less developed countries, (e.g. Niger or Myanmar) poor people, far from suffering from obesity, experience hunger sometimes to the point of actual starvation.

Euro/Americo-centrism

Once again we have an article that deals with a subject that is universal throughout human cultures from a purely Western and First World POV. There's no discussion of lookism in Africa, East Asia, South Asia, Brazil etc.

I could contribute text about lookism amongst some peoples of the Sahara and Sahel (the Tuareg and Toubou/Dazaga) but it's original research and would not be acceptable in a Wikipedia article. Pascalulu88 (talk) 17:04, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
