and the consensus used to be that race science is a great idea. great job in rebranding that in fat phobia!
you're what we call in the fat community one of the "good fats". just know that what you're promoting is pseudoscience and not conducive to "health" whatever that means
what you're doing here is mansplaining science by refusing to keep up to date on the recent research that's only recently starting to make it acceptable in the scientific literature what's been known all along by indigenous people and survivors of famine. that is that food scarcity doesn't cause weight loss, it causes systemic retention of fat to survive life threatening scenarios.
in the epigenetics field as well it is well known that famine trauma propagates through generations, which is exemplified by Irish people tending towards larger sizes on average.
you're also idolizing medics and the medical field by not acknowledging that they're humans just like us and therefore not devoid of biases. the field is extremely white and man-centric, therefore refusing to accept any science that doesn't benefit their class interests. eugenics is common practice in medicine nowadays, you can see it in the way fatness is criminalized and punished through violence by most doctors.
thanks for the recs, will check them out!

you could probably use a fit-tested elastomeric respirator to filter out those particles!
I think a P100 filter should be able to take care of your problem, as I've heard many people use them for allergies.
there's also the added bonus of COVID/insert pathogen protection since airports and airplanes are a leading cause of super-spreaders
