Correct! Feminist Perspectives on Eating Disorders blames obesity treatments and claims it's worse than rapists killing women (it goes without saying that the author had never been to Haiti or South Africa).  Another essay claims that "every can of diet soda that you buy...hurts fat women and, by extension, all women."  This means conspiracy theories about the nefarious "diet industry" are common in that circle.   "That social circle" being one that thinks the Patriarchy's behind it all.    It's called crank magnetism.  Statistically, the more seductive one conspiracy theory is to you, the more seductive others are.  Even contradictory ones like "Princess Diana didn't die" and "Princess Diana was secretly murdered."  Fat Acceptance activists aren't immune to this, hence why it's easy for them to blame set points and genetics in one sentence and "diets permanently lower your metabolism" in the next.
