This is why I hate the 'body positivity' movement as it is right now. It's great that this movement tries to make (especially young) people understand that you don't need to have a tiny cover model body to look good (an that it's unhealthy too). But what it's turned into is that obese people are becoming an example to others without any attention to health issues.
It's no longer allowed to advertise smoking pretty much anywhere, but glorifying (morbid) obesity on social media and TV is fine. Meanwhile, obesity is arguably as bad as or worse than smoking.
