The "GigaStacy"; circa 2025 (airbrushed, colorized)
So recently a 29-year-old, who was named one of the top plus-sized models in the world by Vogue Italia and Refinery 29, started the movement #EffYourBeautyStandard to encourage other women to celebrate their bodies, no matter their shape. FInding this story just make me think of this and chuckle
For me i think its good if you aren't ashamed of your body, but should we give out the message that it's okay to be obese and unhealthy then as long as we're happy?

What a stupid bitch.
hateyouall
stop using that fitness trainer dude, he was an asshole and he didn't ask the same questions of the bulimic chicks
JohnCena6969
They're both morbidly obese by health standards
TheQuack
Yes, it's OK to be unhealthy. Mind your own business- you'll live longer.

Look at how quick the patriarchy was to flaunt his thin privilege!
DondeEsta
Would this mentality also apply to drinking and smoking? "Bro that's bad for you" "yeah but it's fun don't judge me"
silverthornes
can someone please give it source. fuck that guys face is funny!!
RedLineChemist
there's a difference between being thin and being skeletor, but no one posts about that ...

Her name is Tess Holliday. She's living her dream, never said she was a fitness inspiration. Some of you guys are pricks.

I get really annoyed at this whole 'fat shaming' thing, yes people go overboard but if you're huge, you gotta get thin and healthy.(1/2)
Banlish
(2/2) and no, not because of image, because you will hurt yourself over time, I'm HUGE right now but I'm working hard at it, b/c I worry.
dEdGrimley
Seriously, this shit has gotten out of hand. Obese is unhealthy for your organs alone.
dEdGrimley
To beauty, some like big girls, but the most don't. Don't give me this "change your perception of beauty" so you can keep living unhealthy.

Ok people get things confused: You can be heavier & feel beautiful. Being big doesn't mean you shouldn't be treated like a person 1/2
IamtheGinger
2/2 own up to it if your weight isn't healthy! It isn't about big can't be beautiful, it's that it's not fucking good for you.

Ladies and Gentlemen, LNI has begun

You don't get it. She's not claiming "healthiest person alive".. She accepts herself & feels beautiful in a world that tells her she isn't.
brinut
I see your point but, since there are obese people in the world, wouldn't getting an obese person to market it to them be a good idea? 1/2
brinut
2/2 strictly a business perspective here.

I totally agree. If someone wants to be fat they can be fat. But to deny the health implications of being fat is downright moronic
mazikeen
The logic. It BURNS!

Furthermore, harsh truth: obese people represent a strain on the health care system since they are more likely to get certain diseases due >
ferrio
This actually isn't true. People who are healthy are more of a strain, because they live longer and make more use of the system.
JustACanadianChick
I don't see how this could be true. I may be wrong, and correct me if it's the case, but I get a feeling that our medical equipment is>
JustACanadianChick
> advanced enough for even obese people to be able to live a long lifespan- therefore using health care facilities for much longer.

Health can be a crapshoot. But heart disease is the #1 killer

food choices, and give people a free choice. In the UK, at least, smokers put more into the tax system than their inevitable cancer (2)
Hansll
That's the only problem I have with obesity: the cost of caring for them. So, I say, do what we do with smokers. Put taxes on unhealthy (1)
Hansll
treatments cost, so I bet obesity would be the same. Then, sure, if people want to be fat, be fat. None of my business if they pay. (3/3)
seethe42
They already do tax fast food and snacks in the US. Unprepared grocery foods are tax free.
Hansll
I think prepared food is the same in the UK. But I'm talking everything. So you can't just buy fourteen pounds of chocolate every day.
Hansll
Or you could buy that much chocolate, but with some extra tax.
