Il corpo calcolato
Obesity appears here not as a medical category that science progressively clarified, but as a calculated body: a sediment of religious morality, racial taxonomy, class disgust, actuarial measurement, and pharmaceutical promise. By moving from BMI to Ozempic, the piece likely turns weight into a history of institutions deciding which bodies may be read as disciplined, modern, and worthy.
A conceptual essay on health that should leave the reader less willing to treat metrics as neutral facts.
