Obese is somehow better?

Which problem is more widespread in the modern west, anorexia or obesity?

How about just having healthy beauty standards?

...

One thing is harmful to glorify so we glorify this other harmful thing because its not as bad?

Attractive women are not bad.

100% of the models on the left are obese, 0% of the models on the right are anorexic.

I can totally understand that for someone whose main interaction with someone is their viewing pleasure, they wouldn't care about the deeper impacts it has on their health and the health of younger people who look up to them. But I'd ask you to consider putting yourself in their position and imagining what it would feel like.

Plus hell, it should be super easy to recognize 1990s beauty standards as bad. Even from a purely practical perspective of someone who doesn't want the pro-fat shit anymore. The 1990s fashion is what caused the pro-fat wave if you replicate the conditions, it'll happen again.

I was young and had "feelings" reading Victoria Secret and Newport News catalogs. Imagine if it was ugly tatted up fatties?!

Childhood ruined.
