Is Morbid Obesity 'Beautiful'?

Obesity will be the smoking of the last half of this century. People know it's killing them but millions won't do anything to stop it until it's too late. They'll live and die in denial, citing anecdotes of so and so who lived to 93 with a bmi of 52. Eventually, mainstream opinions will change enough that you'll see ads on TV about it. Then it'll start to decline like smoking has.

Are you healthy? Has... have you been to the doctors and they've told you that you're healthy?

If fat women want men to find them attractive, are they also willing to settle for fat men?

I agree 100% that obesity is not "beautiful" and that it is a serious health concern in developed nations these days. Being obese is NOT GOOD! Just like smoking is not good.

However I found a lot of this video's criticisms fall on low hanging fruit. For example he mentioned "Why is eating healthy considered a "mental disorder" these days?"

It's not considered a mental disorder, he was quoting one shitty article on one shitty blog that has no credibility. Statistically almost nobody thinks that, I guarantee you.

And most of his examples of "the media" look to be more shitty blogs with no credibility just putting up articles to get clicks. I mean, his most "credible" sources were huffington post? The Daily Mail? Really? You take that and then say "the establishment press"?! HuffPo is NOT the establishment press... It's clickbait. Not to mention the amount of random photos he used as justifications for his point (ex: 1:35 one woman with a poster = feminists think this)

The message is good, but overall I think a lot of the backlash against fat acceptance is a large group of anti fat-pride against a very small minority of fat-positive people who have stupid blogs and non-credible "news" sites. I think most of the stuff he found had to be searched out. This isn't the general consensus of any news or media that I personally have come across.

Not to mention I've never seen a person in real life say anything about fat acceptance or promote the idea that fat is beautiful. I do however understand that perhaps what I see when I go online and go to university and go out with friends is different than what other people see, so maybe I've just somehow side stepped this group of people shouting that fat is beautiful.

TL;DR: Obesity is a serious health concern, fat is not beautiful, but I think that this video and other anti fat acceptance groups greatly over estimate the amount of people who promote fat acceptance and fat beauty.

I really felt like he hit the mark when he compared morbid obesity to anorexia.

it isn't, but with the "norm" in western society being:

desk/sedentary jobs
large amounts of high caloric food
tons of time spent sitting in front of a television/computer/mobile phone

What do you expect will happen?

The trend is: wake up, grab a frappa-something at starbucks, go to work, eat candy from the receptionist's desk, eat take-out at lunch, snack some more (and another sugary coffee at 2pm when you start to get tired), rush home, feed the kids something like meatloaf and mashed potatoes, and a small side of veggies, and have a couple of beers to unwind in front of a tv.

Average weight gain for adults over 25 is 1-2 lbs a year. 3500-7000 excess calories a year. If you cut back one beer a week for a year, you'd shave off 7000 calories off your yearly intake. It's all it takes.

What we need:

Better health incentives from insurance companies and workplaces for weight management
Serve healthier lunches in school, fat kids grow up to be fat adults.
public education about dieting and weight loss. There's no miracle pill, or shake, or 10 day program to lose 20 pounds.
more access to calorie information on menus. 3-4 breadsticks and an entree at Olive Garden can run you close to 2000 calories. That's without a drink.
city planning for more options than 'driving to work'.

It's going to be a long battle, and I don't think we're going to get there by 'fat shaming' or being nasty about it -- research, reeducation, and incentivizing weight loss can start to defeat this battle of the bulge.

I feel kind of bad for all those reasonable individuals in favor of gender equality who once identified as feminists who have since had their movement taken over my lunatics and fascists.

No its not, shut the fuck up. Too bad this guy's video will fall on deaf ears. Or maybe they're clogged with fat.

I'm just tired of all of this. As a 20 year old woman who is overweight all I can say is that being overweight is unhealthy. Any argument that goes into to an unnecessary amount of debatable detail regarding obesity is invalid for me because I don't think this needs to be complicated at all.

If your 20+ pounds overweight (in fat), you need to make a lifestyle change. It has nothing to do with if you are beautiful or not. It is simply unhealthy.

Fat shaming won't help anything and neither will being too embrasive of the "beauty" in obesity.

I know that if I want to continue living my life and truely loving myself and hopefully have children one day that I can be active with I have to change my lifestyle. I have to make the choice to but aside all of this societal bullshit and simply look at the facts. People who are obese, die quicker. People who are healthy ( mind you - that doesn't have to mean thin and toned in all the right places), active and aware of what they eat tend to lead fuller, happier and longer lives.

It's hard. Fucking hell, it's fucking hard. To go from living your whole entire life as a fat kid into suddenly having to change everything you know about how to live. That shits hard. I've been big since before I can even remember. I use to blame my parents. But now I realize that I can change and make my own decisions. And I try. But i would be lying if I didn't say it's hard. It's just totally worth it.

Honestly, the last thing I want to see is young bigger girls feeling like being obese is okay as long as they love themselves. Heart disease, diabetes, PCOS, infertility, heart attacks , clogged arteries... unfortunatly, these problems can't be prevented with the use of self love.

Love yourself. Don't ever be discouraged. All I'm saying is love yourself enough to be honest with yourself. Obesity is not a joke.

Fat privilege is being born in a place where food is so abundant that you can gorge while others starve, complaining of the social inconveniences that you suffer as a consequence of your choices.

This is such an important topic, thank god we have brave people from /r/fatpeoplehate to fight against this critical problem. Everywhere you go, everywhere you look, every TV show and movie is filled with propaganda about morbid obesity. The obese warriors are trying to force us all to conform and accept their unnatural states, rather than recognize the truth.

No , it's unhealthy , disgusting and you become unable to work thus pretty much becoming useless babies we have to feed with our tax dollars

The only reason it's gotten to this point is SJW and mental societies like reddit promote it as acceptable

onehundredandthirty · 11時間前

I will tell you what is discrimination, might get downvoted but whatever.. I have a mostly healthy lifestyle (cooking healthy meals almost daily at home, occasional "gotta live a little" eating out, exercise regularly, etc.) and I have a healthy slim body (5'8'', 120 lbs, 34", 23.5", 34.5" measurements) and it's very hard for me to find affordable clothing that fits me.. because the cheaper retail lines have all gone to fit the "big is beautiful" clientele. Unless I am willing to spend $100 on a shirt, or wear the overly edgy Forever 21 style cheap high school fashion to an adult job, I am stuck with those boxy/baggy stuff that was designed to cover up fat.

I don't like fat women. I think it's disgusting and they need to lose weight. Sure there might be some people that have medical conditions that make them put on weight but there are things to help you maintain a healthy weight even with those health conditions.

Obesity is not attractive.

DescendsTheBlade · 11時間前

To call morbid obesity attractive (and on the flipside, anorexia for the sake of argument) is to completely ignore our basic instincts as human beings. On the whole, humans crave healthy humans. This isn't an insane idea. If I, a caveman, want a mate that can live long enough to raise my children and simply survive, I don't go find the one that can't run, can't breathe right, can barely walk on their own. I find someone who is physically healthy. The human skeleton isn't meant to hold gigantic masses of fat. Our instincts pick up on this visual change, it isn't wrong to be repulsed by a 400+ pound human being.

It's like these people never grew up. They think something is possible just if you believe in it. It's ignorance and a contrarian attitude, all to cover up their unwillingness to accept the sad truth: that they have to change.

Man this is so cool! So now instead of fixing something about myself I can just make everyone around me conform to me and force them to accept me? Sweet. /s I mean really c'mon good luck telling men to find morbidly obese women attractive. I mean there are a select few out there that have odd fetishes but the other 99.9999999999% don't find it attractive.
