I think people should realize that there is a difference between size and beauty. Your beauty isn't decided by your size and appearance. However, size IS important, specifically in terms of HEALTH. I'll say it again: health and beauty are two separate things. Both are important, but they aren't nearly as linked as many may think.

​@@Yana-qq7yc while BMI may not be 100% accurate, it's a good starting indicator as the average human being is not a body builder nor do they have bones so dense it throws you off by several pounds. Think of the human body as the frame of a house. You will need more insulation (ie. fat, muscle, etc.) for a frame that is 6' tall versus 5'3". From there it helps to look at heart rate, waist/hip ratio, and just doing a self check of how you're feeling (tired all the time, lack of focus, etc.) to better suit your own needs.

I'm considered overweight (not obese, i eat ok and exercise constantly), and for me, the message these people should be passing is "you can try to be healthier without hating yourself through the process". Loving yourself is taking care of your body. Right now, i'm way healthier than i was before, but i don't feel the need to look like a victoria secrets model.

Yeah but it's also a problem that overweight people are constantly shamed and excluded, get told to lose weight but for example nobody gaf if someone is smoking or taking drugs, no one is coming up to them and say "ay you ugly & unhealthy". And it was shown that people lose weight easier when they feel accepted and aren't insulted. For many obese people, they are emotional eaters, so people not accepting them isn't gonna help with weightloss. Even at the gym obese people are fat shamed, but literally why?? For their health? They are literally trying to lose weight there. The problem is not that they are unhealthy, the problem is that society doesn't wanna see them. Not in ads and not irl.

comparing extreme eaters to normal endomorph bodies in this video is bizarre. There are perfectly healthy people that arent going to fit into straight size clothing, just due to how their body works, and thats not a small percentage of the population. If it was a video focused on obesity itself itd probably be a good video, but there are simply things someone cant change genetically, if they happen to hold on to weight even if they DO eat healthy and have an active life style, and there's no reason to use that as examples in this... Im someone who is thin but builds muscle insanely fast, simply because thats my genetic makeup. Youre someone thin who doesn't hold onto fat or build muscle, because that's your genetic makeup.

It involves an active lifestyle, working out regularly, paying meticulous attention to water intake and personal care, and avoiding over-processed foods to maintain a higher muscle-fat ratio and a clear complexion like any other model. It is maintaining a healthy lifestyle but on a larger frame, which is nowhere near the "letting go of discipline" that she lumps everyone in this video to be doing. What a shame. This video had some really good commentary about the issues with the fat-positivity movement, and she ruined it.

it’s the same as telling an alcoholic that it’s okay to drink, and drink a lot

I just don’t want to be called chubby at a healthy BMI anymore, but of course the movement had to go overboard :/

this feels a little conspiratorial like “they’re all out to get you and make you FAT” probably these companies see a trend like body positivity and adjust their marketing to accommodate that trend because that’s what marketing is. you are jumping to conclusions the way corporations are jumping on the body positivity trend.

As a smoker, I have always thought it is absurd to lecture people about the negative consequences of smoking, and I’ve always responded ironically with “Yeah, I hate smokers too, they’re killing themselves and they don’t even care”. No one is gonna stop doing something harmful (drugs, alcohol, junk food) just because you say so. However, I would never convince anyone that my lifestyle is as healthy as the one of a non-smoker, or I would say that I don’t have a problem of addiction because that’s just lying to yourself. Acknowledging that you have a problem is the first step, and the “body positive” movement is trying to avoid that acknowledgment in the recent years. Finally, I think is so funny how people are always criticizing others’ addictions as if it was so easy to change your bad habits, while all of them have a similar problem with another substance (alcohol, caffeine, etc)

Fat people shouldn't be treated badly simply for being fat, regardless of their health, people should be allowed to love themselves even if they don't fit the ideal beauty trends, but fat acceptance on the internet has taken a very toxic turn where bigger is better and all health concerns are a conspiracy and if you want to try and get healthy, which includes losing weight, you get ostracized and bullied because skinny people are bad. Very bizarre.

As a overweight girl with PCOS I'll say you guys don't ruin your health by just simply accepting being fat. I'm doing exercises everyday to stay healthy and achieving a healthy weight day by day❤❤ "health is wealth" as they said❤❤

I've thought this for years. I myself have never been an ideal "healthy" weight - either I was anorexic and extremely underweight, or stress eating and overweight. I'm approaching a level of normalcy now, but regardless of the size I've been I've always felt that the extremes in either direction just aren't good. I TOTALLY understand treating yourself sometimes, or going out with friends and having a good time and not worrying about the food or the drinks on occasion, but we have a responsibility to ourselves and to our loved ones to take care of our bodies. It's just not right to go to any extreme; it's a cliche for a reason. "All things in moderation".

I hate when people glorify an unhealthy weight😢 every time we point it out that it’s not a good thing, then we are called body shamers! You know what’s sick? When people keep pointing out that i am wayyyy to skinny for being 5’2 and 105lbs then glorify obesity 🙄

Beauty and health are two different things. I don’t understand why these two subjects are being mixed together so much. You can be unhealthy and beautiful at the same time, because like you say - beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But health is more objective than that. Saying someone is unhealthy is not saying they are not beautiful. Not that it’s not ok to not be, or feel, beautiful. Honestly, I think we are just too obsessed with looks overall. There are more important things to be and to strive to be in life.

I feel like nowadays figuring out the boundaries between the awareness of human health and the body positivity movements is so hard. I definitely agreed with a lot of points you made in the video! People saying the being overweight is healthy is definitely anything but true, but if you happen to be overweight being able to accept and love your body is a big part of existing. If you’re unhappy with yourself you CAN change! It takes lots of hard work but it is possible. Accepting yourself can be accepting the fact that you need to change, and I feel like a lot of people ignore that.

Oh is that so.. I hope the youtuber realise her mistake

We agree that big food and marketing are actively encouraging overeating and food addiction, and profit off people being overweight and unhealthy. Encouraging others to gain unnecessary excess weight or *intentionally* gaining more weight yourself when already at an unhealthy weight, especially when publicizing or promoting it to a broad audience--I think we can all agree that isn't good, just like any influencer promoting unhealthy behavior isn’t good. However, painting ALL obesity as a "choice" ignores the many, many factors contributing to obesity. Mental health, lack of access to affordable/easy to prepare/satisfying healthy foods, genetic factors, eating disorders, marketing and misinformation, preexisting conditions, eating/fitness behaviors set and modeled for you as a child, injuries and illnesses, lack of health education. The industry profits off obesity, yes. It also profits off diet culture, which is an equally massive industry--gyms, supplements, personal trainers, sugar-free/"diet" foods, diet programs, keto, gluten-free, weight watchers, etc. etc.. While you recognize shaming people is bad, calling fat people "quote-unquote beautiful", including quotes equating fatness with a lack of discipline and personal responsibility, and including clips from fat influencers who are clearly joking but treating it as though they're being serious doesn't support that point, and claiming "genuine self-love comes from within and not society telling you ... your size is quote-unquote beautiful" really overlooks the repeatedly proven impact media has on self-perception. As you say, there's a difference between acceptance and glorification, and glorification is bad, but we disagree about where that line is--calling fat people beautiful or considering yourself beautiful while fat is not glorification. I've been morbidly obese and a normal weight according to my BMI. I've had times in my life where I was active and times when I wasn't, and times when I couldn't be. For me, treating my mental health/eating disorder and recovering from grief has helped me get back to a normal weight, but when I was overweight I still deserved to love myself, feel confident and sexy, not be harassed on the street or accused of setting a bad example, and have access to clothes that fit me, just like any other person struggling with their mental or physical health. NOT having those things, being mooed at on the street, and hearing constantly about how lazy I was and how easy it would be to lose weight? Yeah, that made it worse. It wasn't motivating, it was discouraging, because it made me feel worthless. Why should I bother helping myself if I'm not worth anything? As contradictory as it might seem, being told I had value and being around people who found me beautiful made me value myself more and seek treatment that, ultimately, made me lose weight. You might look at someone and think "how hard is it to stop eating? how hard is it to choose healthy foods? how hard is it to go to the gym?" but if you've never been in that situation you have no idea the intense physical and mental effort it takes, how difficult it is to find accurate information about how to do it especially at higher weights, and how easily it can slip into an eating disorder that only makes the problem worse. The idea that allowing fat people stuck in that cycle to exist without tormenting them or allowing them to feel beautiful "encourages" them is ridiculous. Trust me, every fat person knows they're fat, every fat person knows being fat is unhealthy, and every fat person knows society doesn't want them to be fat and considers being fat undesirable. It's told to them by their doctors, advertisements, movies, books, video games, and strangers on the street. YOU don't need to tell them too, just because a small vocal minority of fat people are sensationalizing themselves to make money (many of whom probably don't genuinely believe what they're saying but just want to build a following for profit). People have been sensationalizing unhealthy behavior for clout forever, that doesn't mean society as a whole thinks that behavior is healthy, and it is certainly not a reason to act like every fat person holds those ideas and is responsible for it. If we want to make the comparison to addiction, then haven't we learned anything from how addiction is treated? Banning something and ostracizing addicts is proven not to help. Supporting them and providing safety and treatment options nonjudgmentally does overall, even if it takes time and some people refuse help.

You said everything I wanted to say. In discussions like this, us fat people, well as a fat person myself, I almost feel as though I am silenced, like I am not allowed to speak. Because in the table of discussion, everyone else is allowed to speak and debate on myself and my fatness. It feels like, fat individuals themselves aren’t even allowed in the discussion. What you’ve explained is everything that was on my head. So thank you. I thought I was insane. We are up for debate but we are not invited. But that’s just for me. Thank you really.

It's insane how anorexia is treated as a mental health issue, but obesity isn't. I gained weight after experiencing SA as a child. Because I gained weight, I was constantly bullied at school and at home. Why the fuck are we talking about personal responsibility when my abusers have never faced consequences for their actions? It's only until this October that I was diagnosed with PTSD, and I still can't stop feeling like it was all my fault. People aren't listening to us. They only listen to these sensationalist fat activists and painting us with a broad stroke. It depresses me.

Thank you, said a big portion of what I was thinking too. Living as a fat person is hard. And to take a small amount of individuals “glorifying” fatness social media doesn’t seem to have the same impact as these huge corporations owning all the medicine, food, agriculture, fitness industry on society as the video claims. Just seems weird that these two things are comparable to have the same ground. It also makes it seem like the only solution is to make better individual choices… when wasn’t the whole video pointing out systemic causes? Am I gonna make a personal choice in living in the states that has insufficient infrastructure for walking and being car reliant? Or a personal choice that can change health care being super inaccessible? I do agree that changing our perception of health is important and really ask what is truly what we believe or propaganda done by these companies, but it felt a little black and white when coming to a solution or how to view fat people in general. It felt as though being a fat person in the video was more shown as a spectacle ? And there was no talk on the actual struggles that coming living/existing as a fat individual, only those social media influencers that fit this term “glorifying.” But where was showing the reality and the pain it can cause people other than being overweight? I can’t tell how often my own health issues where left ignored due to my weight, or the social stigma, bullying, self confidence issues, and just being seeing as less than due to my weight. I’m not sure if she could speak from experience of being overweight, but to not talk to a fat individual to gain reference seems just lacking in the nuance of the situation.

You said it better than I could have. I’m not obese, but I have a metabolic disorder. Without medication, I gain weight and have a harder time losing it. Doesn’t matter how healthy I eat (I’m not a big junk food person and I only drink water/coffee), it’s just a side effect of the disease I have. It fucking sucks that there are people out there who would’ve taken one look at me during my heaviest and think that it was due to a lack of discipline or poor diet. I’m also critical of the framing of fat acceptance as something that was created by corporations to brainwash people, rather than a concept whose origins go back to the fat liberation movement of the 70s. Fat acceptance as a movement is still pretty niche offline. The main reason corporations use plus size models has more to do with selling a product. They’re able to sell more items if they can reach a diverse audience of people. People see themselves represented, and it makes them more likely to buy. It’s purely a marketing stunt. It’s neither in support of the fat acceptance movement nor a grand conspiracy to turn people fat.

The problem is now on both scales: being extremely skinny and the diseases (anorexia) that it comes with are glorified but also being extremely overweight and its diseases are glorified: What should be glorified is being healthy at the size that is right for the individual. I will say something though as a cardiovascular student, we have learnt and it is proven that being overly skinny is worse for long-term cardiovascular health vs being overweight. It is something that is not often mentioned but the cardiovascular problems you get with obesity can be cured as long as the extra weight is lost. However, the damage that is done to the cardiovascular system from being malnourished cannot be undone, it often results in murmurs, palpitations, vascular problems, and increases the risk of all CV diseases in later life. I also speak from experience here as I was underweight with anorexia for 3 years and have now got Raynaud syndrome and a heart murmur. My underweight was other people's "normal" which only made my condition worse as I was only taken seriously when I ended up in hospital (with people still saying that it couldn't be to do with my weight as I didn't look too skinny). I am now a healthy weight and size, I am very active and my health stats are as good as they can be (despite the long-lasting effects of anorexia). What's sad for me is that people ask if I want to go back to my skinnier self, people ask if I want to do diets with them to lose some weight and ask for tips on weight loss. Sadly, my sick body is still more glorified than my healthy body.

theres a difference between heavyset/overweight or even fat and obese. theres a difference between slow metabolism and obesity. people need to realize that.

Overeating is bad, starving yourself is bad. Everyone is gonna be at different sizes when you exercise and eat at a healthy rate, some will be 120 lbs some will be 160 lbs - there’s no cookie cutter weight for everyone. Loving yourself is good, you should no matter your size but you have to acknowledge if you have a problem

we should never glorify not looking after yourself, that's all

I love how balanced yet bold you do commentary. It's rare these days. People need more self appreciation than acceptance (like you would appreciate someone you care about and do something kind like cooking a yummy balanced meal). It's something that we need to implement more in our life. Subscribed :3

I think there's a difference between glorifying being overweight/obese or just excepting it. We shouldn't be shamed for being overweight but not encouraged to eat unhealthy either. I just think people need to show love and encouragement on people's health journeys instead of mocking them; that will just do the opposite. At the same time complimenting their beauty would be nice as well; but it doesn't mean you're encouraging them to stay fat. For me, I don't really eat too unhealthy, I just have a motivation problem with excersizing, and that is a goal for 2024.

don't worry, many other commenters were upset by her lumping in SO MANY body types in this one video. There are obviously many fat people in this video who visibly work out and have a significantly healthier body composition, and she categorized them the same as people who are deathly obese. Heck, she even showed plus-size models in this video, and in this industry, plus-size models work out and follow the very advice that she is touting, including cutting out processed foods. This isn't right, and her take on lumping in your body type here is not a reflection of a lack of effort on your part. Keep trying your best to be the healthiest self you can be. You are doing so well by working out; movement is critical. If you genuinely want to know how to check up on your health or change/maintain your body to where you want it to be, you can talk to a nutritionist, doctor, or personal trainer, not this chick who is coming across as incredibly tone-deaf, citing "lack of discipline" as a blanket statement for everyone in this video which obviously is overly broad and incorrect.

Thank you for bringing this to light! Sometimes it can be so hard to control your weight and eating habits, and trying to lose weight takes a lot of effort and discipline, but seeing over weight friends do nothing to try to be healthier and even justify and defend their size makes me so worried about their long term health :(

girl you knew what you where doing with the title 😭

I love how she’s deadly honest

From my perspective, body positivity or neutrality shouldn't aim to encourage weight gain. It shouldn't even encourage weight loss. It should only encourage accepting your body as it is right now and not basing your value as a person in what size you are. Obesity should be discussed as it is a deadly phenomenon, however I do not believe in targeting any individuals. Commenting "you're not healthy" on a fat person's photo is counterproductive. A fat person knows the risks of obesity, just like a smoker knows the risks of smoking, and they still have the right to exist without being judged or told to change. Also, I would be careful in using "it is a disorder" as an end-all argument. Homosexuality used to be considered a disorder not that long ago. I'm not saying that obesity, which is heavily linked to many diseases, is directly comparable. I'm just pointing out the potential faults in what classifies as a disorder

I always think “everyone’s healthy weight is different” “Healthy” is not always skinny, nor curvy. As long as you love you for you and do your best to improve yourself, that’s all we can do. It’s also not always easy, so be gentle with yourself, but try to still keep it going as you can :)

I believe in loving yourself no matter what size you are. No one's self image should be thrown away because of their health, but it's failing all of these people to not want them to get better, whether they be severely overweight or underweight.

how shocking! Loving people isn't saying "oh you fat loser go lose some weight" but sure as heck it isn't eitheir saying "oh you look gorgeous even tho you have trouble breathing after a flight of stais". Like... love your friends enought to be honest without being unkind!

It's wild how large companies that are widely known for producing food own so companies in entirely different industries and can influence what they put out.

great content and great work Zoe! So enlightening. From the skinny addition to fat glorification, I think people are basically just moving from one extreme to the other, and that’s just ridiculous. I guess essentially what we truly want is to be accepted as who we are instead of trying to conform ourselves to a certain image, be it skinny or fat. And also like u said, fat acceptance does not and should not be equated with glorifying obesity or unhealthy lifestyles in general. btw congrats on 3mil substitutions, u deserve it and so so so MUCH MORE🎉love u Zoe❤

Saying food is "good" or "bad" was never about morality, idk where this notion even came from. It's about whether the food is GOOD *for you* or BAD *for you*. Eating either does not affect moral character.

eating my nightly puece of chocolate while watching this hahah, but i absolutely loved how you summed it up, because it is so right, and usually when i talk about the issue of how so many companies are intertwined with eathother and that most of the bigger ones actually just want to make us sick, to then profit off of our illnesses, people tell me that i am crazy and delusional and that no company would ever be this cruel. which i think is ridiculous, so i thank you veryverymuch for making this video!

I disagree with some of this. Sure, obesity via over eating is not natural but there are still health conditions that can cause it that are. I have an autoimmune disorder and am medically "obese" (at a US size 8-10) I also have pots/eds which make exercising very hard. I do still walk ~5-10k a day and eat mostly a vegan meal prep unprocessed diet. None of my health conditions are caused by the obesity, it is the reverse. The obesity is also not caused by my diet. I feel like advertising glorifies over consumption in all areas - and that is definitely unhealthy and leading to an increase in obesity where there is no medical reason for the obesity. But to say it is unnatural is not exactly correct. There are many many health conditions that can cause weight gain and even make it hard to lose even when you exercise too much or under eat (two examples being autoimmune hypothyroidism or pcos) and having representation that isn't mocking or disparaging is still important. Also, in cases of overeating I think you'll find a lot of people who do that have 1) enablers in the family and 2) an underlying mental health issue causing an unhealthy relationship with food. Media triggers cravings in those who were already susceptible, so it would be absolutely way more helpful to advocate for cheaper and more accessible mental healthcare and general healthcare than to blame influencers just trying to find a way to love themselves in a fatphobic world.

It's really sad that you cant even believe what the food is made of sometimes, that u need to read the ingredients to know if it's actually healthy. Most of the healthy food are really high priced, but I value it, because I know it'll be worth it and i'll have less probability to evolve some decease. The sad thing is the people who gain less and cant be healthy, because they need to survive based on low priced food, that is normally the food that has "poison".

Glorifying anorexia and bullimia is also not healthy btw

This is everything I have been saying to people for a while whenever my gaining weight comes up. I don't feel sexy, I feel sick and tired and depressed. I have an addiction to food and I am trying to heal from that. I am giving up diet coke and the fact that I'm having so much trouble kicking it makes me really uneasy. People have even said "What about health at every size?" to me and I am like "'You aren't listening, I feel terrible, I am not healthy at this weight!" I don't think fat people are ugly, I don't think that I am a bad person for gaining weight or anyone else is, I just hate that I'm having fat acceptance shoved down my throat when I don't agree with it at all. I'm not saying everyone has to be thin, just that to say you are "healthy" while obese is just objectively wrong. I feel like I'm going insane when people tell me I shouldn't worry about my weight so much. It's so demeaning.

Such an interesting video. Great nuance and you did such a good job emphasizing how this is not fat shaming. It´s a very complicated topic so kudos!

THANK U FOR SAYING IT

fat can be beautiful, just like any body size can be. there’s nothing wrong with loving your body at any size. but being obese isn’t healthy. slightly obese? sure, it can still be alright depending on the person. but being overly obese is unhealthy and that’s not up for debate.

It's even foods that are marketed as healthy that end up being unhealthy and having all of these processed ingredients

We should love anyone no matter what size they are and support them on their journey to reaching their healthiest. But…. You should recognize when someone is trying their best to be healthy and when people are just glorifying their gluttony and consumerism

This is kinda related to the video but every time I eat to much I’ll become sick and not want to eat anything

I think many people find it hard to realize how delusional this situation is getting, especially because everyone wants to be "politically correct", and this topic is not talked about enough regardless of the consequences. The comparison with alchoholism you made is spot on.

I don't think any body or habits should be "glorified" to be honest, overweight, underweight, idealweight, big, small, average, healthy or not. If people are healthy, good for them, if they're not, too bad, regardless it's their life and everyone is gonna have different experiences when it comes to habits. I hate when people think they should care more about a stranger's habits than they even care about their own. It's okay, and even necessary to comment about the consequences generally, I just don't agree when people say that others "should be healthy" as if it were an obligation. Them being healthy or not, is literally not gonna affect your life and you're not helping by saying to a stranger "get healthy" when you don't even really care nor know what's going on in their life in the first place. i'm saying this cause everyone loves saying "healthy is good" and "loving yourself is good" but no one says it is hard and not other's business.

I don't know I do not think it's okay to be promoting obesity but I also know it's definitely not okay to be kind of making fun of people who have died yes it's there fault but there human and the fact you where okay with saying "ohh people are dying ) : how sad" I know you probably didn't mean it like that but it's still rude I mean they have family's and friends and your just like oh ya him he died
