    Lol, my understanding is that it was used allegorically. That in the instances where obesity is a disease of malnutrition related to demographic status, that since we come from a place of privilege we can't understand the reality of life in that demographic. Ie you can't use a library if you don't know how they work.

    No. A well off Asian in Australia does not have Asian privilege because Australia is not a society that promotes the Asian experience as the norm and other experiences outside that as the 'other'.

    Exactly that. Thank you Onyx.

    Eta- if you are interested, google food poverty. That's pretty much what I'm on about.

    I'm not talking about every obese person. I'm obese and it's because I eat too much and exercise too little. I know better but I eat too much good food. No one to blame but me. But I won't sit back and cop statements that everyone should know better and everyone should do better, that there is no excuse. It's simply not true.
