Not everyone is beautiful. Most people are average and many are not attractive.
Obesity is not beautiful. It is unhealthy and honestly delusional.
I'd even go so far as to say obesity is unattractive, because it's unhealthy.
Healthy is of course beautiful.
Average is plenty beautiful, though. At least in countries where 'average' doesn't mean 'severely over- or underweight'.
My brother is obese and also one of the fittest people I know. He can walk miles without breaking a sweat, no high blood pressure, no high cholesterol, heart is doing fine, no arthritis, etc. ad nauseum. He's fat because he eats a lot, but everything he eats is home cooked with plenty of veg and little meat. He just loves cooking.
My doc said the other day she prefers it when her patients are heavier, because when people get very sick, it's the "healthy" thin ones who die first in the ICU purely because they don't have any fat to spare.
As to your second point, I have a personal hypothesis that cancer is the reason for the middle-aged gut. Hell, guess it could be disease in general. Anyway, with a few extra pounds you have more time to fight.
The whole fat acceptance movement is honestly gross AF.
I don't care how happy you are about it. This shit is not healthy and we shouldn't be promoting it.
Says fat people promote unhealthy lifestyles. Gif: An obese chick getting exercise while playing an instrument that takes considerable muscle control and a high lung capacity.
Damn. Lot of people really hate fat folks. I'm just saying you want to prove fat people are unhealthy— a woman in a career that takes a high level of stamina and discipline isn't a great example.
Yeah that's a terrible example of an unhealthy fat person, she is an outlier for sure, was so overweight and could run and sing at the same time! I'm sure it's harder on your joints and all but if someone can out-dance you, while singing loud, she is in better cardiovascular shape than you.
