Abstract

Obesity, something apparently neutral in principle, is socially built and follows some scientific and ideologically interested parameters, until they reach in the social imagination an idea considered the reference for daily performances. In the same sense, obesity is considered in the same imagination through a similar scientific-medical knowledge and intervention. Both realities refuse their neutrality for becoming legal concepts. Everything that does not fulfill the norm is, following its definition, abnormal, and needs a special consideration.
