“We are at a moment during the year when many people will try, and even regard themselves as duty bound, to go on a diet,” Manne writes in the piece. “But if dieting is a practice that causes a great deal of harm — in the form of pain, suffering, anxiety and sheer hunger — and rarely works to deliver the health or happiness it has long advertised, then it is a morally bad practice.”
