I am not going to provide a link nor am I going to tell you to search for it because you COULD COME ACROSS SOMETHING AGAINST FORUM RULES AND I DON'T WANT TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT. But here's the gist:

There is a new activist group talking about positivity in obesity. There message isn't "you should love yourself no matter what", but rather that being obese is a GOOD thing, and an object of beauty that people should strive for.

I'm really okay with people doing what they want to themselves. If you want to binge drink fine. If you want to smoke tobacco products cool, just make sure I'm not inhaling your second-hand smoke. If you want to ride a motor cycle without a helmet it's your funeral.

What I DO have a problem with is if you're going to maybe soon make commercials about how being obesity is some great thing. You're NOT allowed to have commercials about smoking tobacco products anymore because it's terrible for your health -> a huge distinction from drinking responsibility with Budweiser commercials for Alcohol. In the same vein: Obesity is terrible for your health and I don't want people thinking "Well, I could've been slowly making improvements in my body to become healthier, but now because of this I'll stay obese"



Again, can't stress it enough: loving who you are and loving/accepting your body is fine. Not wanting to strive to fitness model level physiques and athletic cardiovascular training is cool. But advertising an ideology that it's GOOD to be obese seems like a dangerous thing that we shouldn't practice.

What are your opinions on this?
