Does society’s changing attitudes enable or endorse unhealthy lifestyles?

Question

Here’s an example:

Now I’m not just talking about people who are overweight, this includes people who are dangerously underweight such as models.  However, it seems that people are more willing to criticise super thin people than obese people.
Do you think society’s changing attitude towards not body shaming anyone endorses or enables bad unhealthy lifestyles?  
Or do you think it’s a positive change to see women of all shapes and sizes in magazines?

Accepted Answer

No, acceptance of all body types (which does not exist in our society) does not enable unhealthy lifestyles.  Acceptance of all body types will enable self worth.
In order to have health and well-being, one needs to first have self acceptance, love and nurture.  Right now, just as they are.  
This is EXTREMELY difficult to do when our society treats some people like garbage, as less than in a human hierarchy of “goodness” because of their bodies.
If we want health and well-being, kindness and acceptance is the route.  
Also, I cannot stand pierce Morgan.

Answer

... no, super thin people do not face the same treatment and nor does it make it acceptable. This is real, these people exist. Why not showcase people of all shapes and sizes? I'm so tired of seeing photoshop people to look perfect with perfect bodies.
Why don't we have more disabled children on diaper boxes? Does my disabled child not need diapers? Are they not "cute" enough? Do babies with cleft lips, or clubfoot exist or should we hide them in basements? 
More DARK skinned women show case in make up commercials, do dark skin women not exist? 
More heavy set women in modeling, my fat ass wants to know if I'd look good wearing them clothes too.
More, women with BROWN eyes in contact/ glasses commercials?
I'm so sick of this skinny, blonde, super tan blue eye white washed crap. 
Fuck it, heavy set men too? Where's that, why are they always beef cakes? Not every freaking man looks like the damn hulk. 
Wheres my short women at? Where's my tall women? Ah.. why does standard say women from 5'5 -5'7 is whats beautiful 
We're human, we come in different shades, sizes, looks, disabled/ normal bodied, heights.

Love a good fat phobic article first thing in the morning.

Answer

Promoting an unhealthy lifestyle is wrong. This is literally just having someone on a magazine cover. Dangerously underweight models are in magazines every day and nobody is bringing their health into question.

Answer

I think it’s a bit of both. 
Too much of anything can kill u. That’s just fact.
The problem I have with Tess isn’t her weight or her body or even her diet.
It’s her hyper sensitivity and thinking the world should revolve around her and her precious feelings,whilst simultaneously shitting on others for wanting to get healthy.
If your fat and proud be fucking fat and proud. But if a fellow fat person wants to lose weight they deserve just as much support as Tess putting 20 MF cheeseburgers down her throat.

Answer

My body is not a lifestyle. YOU know nothing about me other than what I look like. I struggle with hating myself because of people who think that I can "just put down the fork". I deserve to be a person who takes up space in the universe, regardless of my weight or perceived health.

Piece Morgan's mom should have swallowed

Answer

Fuck Piers Morgan and his fat phobic bullshit. Body acceptance has nothing to do with promoting unhealthy lifestyles. A persons health is between them and their doctor.

Answer

A person's health is between them and their doctor. Doesn't matter if they're 95 lbs or 500 lbs.

Answer

I think society sometimes does enable unhealthy lifestyles, but at the same time, people are so quick to tell you your flaws too. I’m sure she is told daily that she’s fat, she’s obese, she’s ugly, she’s doing herself no good, etc. 
There’s no doubt she’s fully aware that she’s unhealthy. We have no idea what she’s going through, if she has tried to lose weight, if she’s currently trying, or whatever. 
Learning to accept your body and love yourself doesn’t mean you don’t know you’re unhealthy. It’s a step by step process. 
As a society, we have way too much invested in other peoples’ bodies. Unless you’re that person’s doctor or significant other and you’re coming from a genuine place of concern, let’s STOP making comments about others’ bodies. 🤷🏻‍♀️ (I probably feel this way because I’m pregnant lol)
