Do you think the media are promoting obesity as healthy?

I think it’s okay to feel good about our bodies but so long as people understand the detrimental effect of being overweight. People have a deluded concept about being curvy, if you’re overweight, it’s not curvy, it’s fat.

One of my friend is overweight and she is in this deluded bubble. We are all trying to help her to lose some weight.

Yes. It is okay to have curves and be a good weight but to say all bodies are healthy is not good. People who don't take care of themselves of course have a high risk of illnesses. It is the opposite of the 60s when Twiggy was popular but being too skinny is also as or even more dangerous.
The world is becoming a gigantic melting pot of obesity. Curvy is beautiful, but being obese is unhealthy. @SW-User
