This. The U (or typically J as I've heard it described) shape comes mostly from the fact that very many very unhealthy people lose a ton of weight and end up with a super low BMI.
- sundvor 4y agoSprinkled with a coating of "body positivity" perhaps? I use quotes, because I personally only believe in body positivity for matters that are beyond control - eg disfigurements related to genetics or trauma. No-one should shame anyone - or feel shame - for things they have no say on. Matters within scope of control should be addressed, however. At the very least not lied about and promoted as healthy, more importantly.
- exfatloss 4y agoYea. I think a lot of it is cope/helplessness. Clearly "we" as a society don't know how to stay lean or get lean, and it's not fun constantly being reminded of something that you feel you have no control over. Or being told that it's unhealthy.
