Scary thought...corporations want HAES. Take a look at the Fortune 500... Wal-Mart wants to sell you cheap frozen shit and cheap bullshit snacks instead of real food.  Lower cost, better profit margin and no spoilage. CVS Health wants people coming in for overpriced unhealthy snacks and drinks and buying prescription and OTC drugs. Costco wants to sell you 288 oz. of sugar water and a five pound bag of chips instead of you buying unhealthy food in reasonable quantities. Kroger wants you walking up and down all their aisles for processed bullshit, not sticking to the outside for fresh ingredients. Cardinal Health wants more patients, more procedures, more followups, more profits. Amazon wants you to feel good buying everything from behind your keyboard in your own house, not getting out, buying things locally. P&G doesn't care if you're beautiful, they want you to buy products that their marketing tells you will make you beautiful. And so on for Walgreens, Target, J&J, PepsiCo, etc. (and that's just in the top 50) I can't find a strong argument for any of the biggest companies significantly benefiting from their customers being a healthy weight, but I can find an argument for over a dozen of them significantly benefiting from the HAES movement.  It makes sense they want to make people feel good about consuming or using their products, and it makes sense they'd put time and money into making people more likely to do just that.
