Bariatric surgery and the subsequent flashes of argon appear in a dichotomous discourse, which demonstrates that the long-awaited definitive solution to the problem of obesity has not been effective. Health and obesity are subjects of study and research that are thought provoking in different fields of knowledge; be it in Fashion, Science, Psychology, Aesthetics, Law, Literature and Dramaturgy, all of them are linked, in a certain way, to the cult of the body and the search for aesthetic standards. The media and social networks aim at weight control that focuses on the consumer market, be it fashion, health or beauty. They serve as an organizer of individuals' direct and indirect choices regarding food, clothing, alcohol intake or use of dietary supplements. In theory they would culminate in a balanced body that is acceptable to consumption patterns, but not always healthy. Gordophobia is not just in fashion magazines - little or nothing inclusive. It is also in the workplace and everywhere, because it is prejudice that lurks in social relations without being noticed and often permeated by trivialized statements. Law as an agent that promotes inclusion and respect for equality in the face of constitutional law
