you can not be obese and healthy at the same time

sorry to break it to you all but facts are facts.
Glorifying obesity, this is the world we live in today with certain people.
Why do people struggle to acknowledge reality now and instead act as if their feelings is all that matter and those trump every thing else. It doesnt and if people actually cared for obese people, they would not glorify it and encourage it.

but hey, if you wanna end up in a early grave, keep shoveling in junk food day in and day out and not exercise at all. Its your life

Obesity is not glorified these days but a dominant narrative is being challenged that tells people (especially women) that they need to be skinny in order to be considered pretty or even desirable. I also want to remind you that beauty standards have been the complete opposite during the epoch of Baroque when obese women where seen as beautiful and wealthy.

Feelings matter and self worth matters. Shaming people for their bodies is despicable and leads to serious mental health issues. Also being overweight is not the same as being unhealthy. My ex boyfriend was overweight and very healthy at the same time. Weight is influenced by many different variables and not only tied to someones diet. Sure being overweight can be the cause of health issues but that's for a doctor and the indivdual to assess.

Also junk food is fast and cheap. People who work hard and maybe even multiple jobs don't have time and might not even the money for healthy alternatives.

@Annie13 not talking about beauty here though, Just purely talking about obesity and it not being healthy.

Never shamed anybodies body. Just pointed out what people try denying now and that is obesity is not healthy. Not talking being overweight here. Obesity is a whole other thing

the junk food was me talking shit. But you make a valid point. Its fast and cheap and very convenient but that doesnt mean you should eat it all the time.
you can buy cheap low fat food also if you actually look for it
