is there a “being fat can be healthy” movement? I must be unaware. I am aware of the “fat people deserve respect, dignity, and can be beautiful too” movement…which i agree with.
But if anyone is saying being fat is healthy, they’re pretending.
- cthalupa 1y agoYes, there are a variety of organizations that are attempting to propagate the idea that you can be healthy at any size. Which, as a formerly obese person, I knew was a load of bullshit even at my fattest. I don't know if anyone actually believes it, or if they just are lying to themselves, but the movement definitely exists.
- ehnto 1y agoI also believe that everyone deserves respect and dignity, I don't even think it's amorale to choose to live life in a way that deprioritises health and fitness over other joys. I think maybe it's excessive to call it a movement, perhaps just a mindset that's propagated online. As the other commentor pointed out it's something I think companies can message poorly in their attempts to be inclusive.
