We have been bombarded with fat propaganda for years, pushing unhealthy weight models into fashion and the media, legitimising unhealthy diets and encouraging slothful attitudes toward diet and exercise. Big is not beautiful, it is morbid obesity. There is a double standard with body image since the rise of fat propaganda, it is now forbidden to criticize the overweight, and widely accepted to criticize the underweight. The difference is that the overweight might be 120kg over what is deemed healthy, while the underweight might only be a few kg underweight or even within the appropriate BMI, but the underweight gets the abuse. The beautification of the obese is a sick fetish. Diabetus' chungus is not the better alternative to being slim.
