The thing is no matter what you do whether it's drink alcohol/ smoke or you're skinny or overweight it doesn't mean you're automatically saying "hey I think everyone should do this because I am." Simply existing does not equate with that. Tess Holliday may have built her brand on being the weight she is but at no point has she ever said "hey everyone should be like me." And I think that's the point people are missing when they say she is glorifying a "bad" thing. Also with the waves she's been making in the modelling world I'm surprised she hasn't had a magazine cover sooner.

Great video! Enjoyed listening to your thoughts xx

Here's my response to the idea that this cover promotes obesity to young women/girls: No thin person is going to see this and start altering their eating and exercise habits in order to achieve this body. The very predominant beauty standard in our culture is still thin/fit/slim-curvy bodies. What is cover COULD do is give comfort, positivity and acceptance to people who are already in larger bodies, which IS healthy because the shame stress and stigma of living in a larger body is more detrimental to people's health than the fat they carry (there are a bunch of studies that show this, follow Linda Bacon on social media). Furthermore, if blasting the thin ideal and shaming people into weight loss worked, no one would be overweight, because that's what we've been dealing with our whole lives. Fat people exist. Lets accept it and move on to spending our energy on more important things.

I think Tess Holiday looks beautiful in the photo. The thing is that she is very obese and that is not healthy. If you are overweight some it's okay,but not to the point it's very unhealthy. We should promote body positivity! Obese people are beautiful but at the same time not healthy. She is beautiful but not healthy. We should promote body positivity and being healthy!

Thank you so much for making this video! I really enjoyed hearing your take on this and loved your arguments and views on the controversy!

this is such an amazing video, as always, but I was also very entertained by your many variations when saying tess‘ name 😂

I am obese and personally I struggle with this cover, as I struggle with every magazine cover I've seen. It is not healthy to be so large, it is also not healthy to be as thin as typical models seem to be. I understand they are trying to be controversial etc, but I do wish they showed regular healthy people so that the majority of people can actually relate to. Why can they only show either very thin or very large people? That said, I like your point about how we should focus on people who have achieved something and have something to say. There are many people included in the magazine who fill those categories yet they choose out of all those regular people those who are famous (usually models and actors) to put on the front cover. Perhaps that's why people buy them, because of recognizing the person on the cover, though personally I'd rather see people in other sectors such as business women, etc, who I don't recognize. The issue isn't so much whether they are fat or thin, but they are impossible standards to reach (whether that be fame or wealth) which does lead us to feel the only way we can be as good as them is to look like them. Basically if they included every size on the cover it wouldn't bother me whether occasionally there was a thin person or a far person, but currently I don't even buy magazines because the covers never represent average people (which probably means my opinion is moot as I'm no longer someone who spends my money on magazines).

Thank you for your contribution to this discussion, Leena! I've seen so many horrible comments around Tess Holiday's cover along the lines of "but her health!" Which always gets to me. I'm relatively thin but I have multiple chronic illnesses that prevent me from working and living a normal life. None of us can know from looking at someone what their health is like, and furthermore health isn't a prerequisite for self-love, dignity, privacy, and respect from others. Thanks again for the points you've made, I hope they encourage some people to rethink their assumptions.

Right, but all you’re saying there is that some illnesses are invisible. Other illnesses are very visible. We cannot assume that all thin people are healthy, no, but we know for a fact that morbidly obese people are at risk. If they’re not unwell now, they will be soon. It’s like saying smokers are healthy because they don’t have lung cancer (yet.) Being concerned about health shouldn’t be so controversial or offensive. “But her health” is far from a ‘horrible’ comment, its a kind one.

@@lauralejeune6733 I understand where you're coming from, but I disagree that it is a kind comment. I never said that people who are obese don't have health concerns, but those concerns are between them, their doctor, and the people they choose to share them with. We don't know what people's health journeys have been like just from looking at them, so unless someone has asked for input I think it's rude to assume that we need to say anything. Generally adults know their own health concerns and are doing what they want to do about it. I feel like assuming you know more about the health of someone you don't know than they do is really patronizing. And finally, just because someone has health problems doesn't mean that they can't celebrate and embrace their bodies. Health isn't a prerequisite for body positivity.

Leena I LOVE you, thank you SO much for everything you do. Honestly, every single thing. When this debate first started I thought I was on the "it's a bad example" side, I knew I shouldn't be, but I couldn't work out what was wrong. As soon as I saw your video I knew you'd be able to explain it in such an amazing, balanced, non-judgmental, non preachy way. Thank you, I know and hope you'll go far. Xx

never realised contactless ISN'T ACTUALLY CONTACTLESS. * *CLICKBAITED* * amazing video!!

NCDs such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes etc are the biggest killers now. Weight does play a big role in those things. But so does lack of exercise, alcohol, smoking etc. It's not as simple as just weight, although it is a major risk factor. But, if we're promoting health, we should focus of mental health too. We shouldn't be promoting a certain body type at all. We should be promoting how to take care of our bodies and minds in a healthy and safe way. I would go so far as to say we shouldn't be saying "big is beautiful" or "skinny is beautiful" or anything in between, and should be helping people accept that we don't have to be perfect or look a certain way, but caring for your body and mind can only improve your experience of life. If people weren't so pressured health wouldn't be much less of an issue. Edit: I re-read this and hope it didn't come across as me being against tess. I'm not. I'm just against the whole industry of pushing "this or that is beautiful". It changes every other minute and its not important. How about we all focus on eating our greens, getting out in nature and taking time for our bodies and minds, without putting pressure on what they should look like. 😊

I love the way you discussed this! It's so common for people to have a strong single opinion that gets in the way of the whole picture i.e. 'body positivity is good so she should be in the magazine' or 'obesity is unhealthy so this is completely bad' etc. I really enjoyed hearing you discuss so many different view points and pros and cons and really dig into the reasons behind the article being published in the first place. Definitely going to use some of these points to articulate myself in the future!

Another brilliant essay, Leena. Definitely gave me something to think about

I love the way you explain things tbh

This was just SO fantastic. I've been feeling pretty down on myself recently re: weight. Really letting societal expectations influence my feelings towards myself. But, this video re-centred me in the knowledge that my body and my weight is NOBODY'S DAMN BUSINESS. Bless up, Leena. You're a god damn gem.

I find it disturbing that as soon as a fat person does anything in Media, they are "promoting obesity"...when at no point have they said 'you need to eat lots of food and get fat'. Tess is simply existing - she was invited to be on the cover and be interviewed because of her influence and her job, not purely because she is fat...she just happens to be fat. People seem to be ok with the body positivity movement until it is coming from a fat person. Fat people exist. And their achievements should still be celebrated - we can't just ignore their success because promoting them means we are encouraging obesity - we don't, for example, say that by featuring women with red hair is 'encouraging red-heads', or people with tattoos is 'encouraging body art'. With all the talk around bodies, it is actually refreshing to see a larger woman on the cover of a magazine (although I look forward to the days when no mention of her weight is made at all - maybe focus on her work within the body acceptance movement without actually stating what she weighs *although I do realise she may have requested or specified this herself*) It seems that big people cannot just *exist* and let their talents proceed them. And Tess Holliday is an actual human being, being interviewed for a magazine, it would be unjust (and unrealistic) to not interview her bc she is fat. We still interview fat actors and singers. Fat people exist, thin people exist, people somewhere in the middle exist - just let people do their thing.

Literally just finished reading the Huffington Post article you mentioned in this video. How timely!

I'm very slow on the uptake here Leena but I've only just discovered you and am going through your playlist of videos whilst in lockdown due to COVID-19 crisis! What you talk about within the first 3 minutes of your video is called the "Sociological Imagination" - the ability to ask questions (specifically why?) instead of sticking with status quo or my favourite term "common sense." It is a sociological theory, term and skill I picked up at university in my first year of studying Criminology and Criminal Justice and my views on things have been ever expanding since. I'm so glad you are sociologically imaginative person too and thank you for spreading the word.

I wish I could like this twice. Watching the reaction to the Cosmo cover, and now Micheal Hobbes' article, it's been so frustrating seeing people respond to just the image of fatness (which is pretty telling about their priorities), and completely have the issue of body positivity fly straight over them. You'd think from the outrage that someone had asked for the word 'fat' or 'obese' to be categorised as slurs, rather than suggest - gasp! - that fat people deserve the same respect and dignity as everyone else.

Your internal monologue just makes me so happy. Oh how I love listening to/discussing social issues (especially when I agree with the person). The questions you ask are essential and I just wish everyone would live life like that. Like it actually doesn’t make sense that majority of people just accept life and society and don’t give it any thought. I began to question the world and everything in it when I began studying English lit in university and oh my goodness the whole world needs to do the critical perspective module I did with the lecturers I did it with and the world will change. Social conversations need to thrive so much more than they do.. let’s just hope the world starts improving so much more and liberalism stays within the younger generation as we get older and we don’t all turn into angry conservative old people like it seems is all that exists (I obviously know that’s not true but based on majorities).

Damn, you’re good. A raft of intelligence in what is largely a sea of dross on youtube

Such a good video! I really enjoy these videos of yours 😊

Great video Leena - my thoughts exactly, put into words much better x

I agree with what you’ve said entirely. The only thing that does ‘bother’ me when looking at magazine covers like this, or similar images online is that although Tess, like many other plus size models, is beautiful in her own right, the bright lights and editing washing out her ‘imperfections’ (being moles, freckles, skin discolouration, stretch marks, cellulite, uneven skin) makes her beauty just as unobtainable as a size 4 athletic model. As a fairly healthy 23 year old, size 12-14 with stretch marks and cellulite it irritates me that these side effects of weight gain are still masked by the beauty and fashion industries all the time. Although everyone’s skin is different, I don’t believe for one second that the plus size models I see on a daily basis who are mostly a lot bigger than myself have less of or none of these ‘imperfections’.

You're so fantastic! I'm thinking about printing an image of Cosmopolitan's cover and bringing it to class for my students to discuss the topic (I'm a Spanish English teacher). I think it can work really well with my secondary school students!

I think it would be interesting to look at why this cover is attributed so much power and leads to a peak in discussions around body-positivity :).

Magazines have often been used as a pedestal for aesthetics and beauty. Whilst celebrities are used more so than models now the message still lies there. Young girls and women have spoken out about the harm the average skinny models have conflicted on their mental health countless times. Even the models themselves have spoken out about it. Tess Holiday is a hyperbolic contrast to those models. Very convenient that the conversation over health has to start with Tess Holiday and not the status quo. Magazines have never been about health than about power that now has decayed since the internet has offered an alternative for better or worse. So glad you spoke on this 👏👏👏

2.5 years later and this is still wonderful and articulate. I appreciate the lense being turned onto consmo's role in all of this. It's a shame that its been this long, and there is currently a UK cosmo article featuring a fat yoga instructor and people are freaking out saying the same "this promotes obesity" conversation. Pressing on and having these conversations is just as important today.

Saw this a-bubbling and found your chat a refreshing cut through. One thing that grated - jumping something to a fetish because you disagree or think it’s weird, whilst extremification is funny and grabby for this kinda media, it could also be fuelling the inability of each side interacting well? Ie like the three comments and hitler gets mentioned type thing of comment interactions. As a society we are more interconnected than we act like and what we do or say does impact other people so we should seek understanding through patient interaction rather than name-calling/box dropping (that is blunter than I mean for it to sound but I think you can take my point and I’d be up for this being kindly dismantled also!) great edit also.

Yes yes yes!! I agree with this SO much

Leena, you look gorgeous with those low space bun things and everything! Also: loved this video essay. I really enjoy your content, as always! Does anyone have a good recommendation on a channel with similar video essays like this on youtube?

So interesting and articulate as usual! I hadn't thought about the fact that Cosmo are pushing a body positivity movement to women who already know about it/ created it! When I've seen the cover debated on traditional news outlets this is always failed to be mentioned, and I think that fact is completely unknown in a lot of traditional journalism. As always young women are undermined; we don't have brains capable of logic and reasoning, of research and rationality, of grass roots online activism?! It's so insulting that some believe this cover will seriously influence women in a negative way... Yet hardly any of these young women or these fat young women specifically are asked to comment. I also think it's worth mentioning just plainly what an extraordinary move this is in mainstream culture. However many people get pissed off about it, the cover still remains, controversial or not, and that's something to be proud of.

I also think putting a 5’10 120lb women on the cover might be questionable as well regarding a healthy lifestyle....

Yes Leena yes !

Leena, what mascara are you using cause DAAAAYUUUUUUUMN GURL, DEM LASHES ARE AMAZZZZING. Forever trying to find a good C-F mascara...Ps, love your content

i want to make a wall poster out of every sentence leena says

Tess Holiiday is NOT plus size she's morbidly obese that was the issue. In addition she put herself out there as one of those body acceptance kinda people so it is our business to to comment about her weight and health when she is clearly obese and unhealthy. As to why putting her on the cover was so controversial is because it normalizes obesity the body acceptance idea she and many others promote allows many to believe that obesity is okay when it is clearly not. Sure you can be a bit chubby, a bit overweight but NOT [mobidly] obese and that is what she is.

Hi, great video! Can you link the article you mentioned about physicians and nutrition in the bio?

Interesting about physicians. In my country, pharmacists must advise patients on nutrition according to the law, (its in our scope of practice, especially concerning diabetic people, pregnant people, and with regards to young children) so we spend aaages learning the biochemistry of metabolism. It's really hectic. Not sure about medics though, but that sounds about right.

Great video! 😘

Cosmopolitan was a for runner in women's rights back in the seventies. They told the public that women could have orgasms . people actually thought due partly to medical profession and maybe largely due to a majority of women never achieving orgasm. Due to women's pleasure being insignificant to men and even women. Do you even know that anyone?

The first video (ad) showing up in the suggestions is: 4 ways to lose weight. Nice.

Celebrities who are known and even talkative about leading unhealty lifestyles are covered on magazines regularly, since they look attractive and fit for our cultural standards - with a little help from Photoshop sometimes. And THAT doesn't seem to be a problem for the same people who get so triggered by seeing overweight bodies, calling them "bad models". That remember me of people calling me "unhealty" because I was struggling with eating disorder while they were smoking, overdrinking and doing drugs but on the outside they looked better than me so... 😉

Amen to that! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

this is a debate i'm watching from the sidelines, bc reading various opinions about it i've come out going... oh i don't know. I know that mentalities i have are affecting my logical judgement of the situation so i've decided not to say anything. nevertheless, very interesting to hear your thoughts

it's very interesting to see all the discussion surrounding this cover, I found Meghan Tonjes's vid and yours the best so far. you are both such brilliant humans with very nuanced, informative and empathetic views. all that being said ,cosmopolitan is trash and has been vile trash for years,so i don't put any merit in them. loved your vid though, much love 💗

I wanna read the articule you mentioned, cant see the link in the discription, am i mad and confused ? can some give me the link?

That last line!!! 'Question whether you really trust women and whether that needs to change.' MIC DROP! Urgh loved this so much! Thank you lovely for speaking up about this! And helping to dig deeper at the real issues! It needed to be addressed. x

I find this magazine problematic not because she is plus sized, but because she represents the acceptance of plus size in a way that continues to sexualize women. The format of the magazine itself perpetuates the normalization of visual consumption and objectification. To put a plus sized woman on the cover now encourages society to sexualize and objectify another type of woman. Body positivity is very much needed but it should not be encouraged in a way that perpetuates the value of a woman being based on her sex appeal.

Power player, hmmm! Nice! 💐

Does anyone have a discussion about why we tap contactless cards? I’m super curious about it now

The entire idea that girls should have role models for their bodies is super weird... The underlying assumption is that we are teaching girls to compare themselves to each other in the first place. Secondly, if we are comparing (because we do :P) Why are super thin models ok? They are not a good comparison for so many women whose bodies would be unhealthy at such a low weight.

I was going to say the same thing, so many skinny models in magazines have contributed to other eating disorders (e.g. anorexia, bulemia etc.) There's so much extremism these days, there's no temperance in media. Why only super skinny or super large? The idea is that people have all kinds of shapes of bodies, Right?

He Leena! I am really happy there are people like you who make critical social- and current content on youtube! I am always happy to hear from you :) This is a really good video and I very much agree with you! As a nurse, I have to point out though, that I do think talking about obesity is important since it can have very dangerous health consequences and effects so many people. However, I don't think that this should happen in the form of a discussion (/fat shaming) about a model in a magazine. In my experience, Tess Holliday represents us a humans more than any other model ever on the cover of the cosmo before. Her 'being there' is valueable to help us seeing, accepting and loving how we see ourselves (and others) more than we do now. It is valuable for equal representation. This article, I think, is a tool/step to get there and that is the point of it. It is not the point to start talking about obesity and unhealthy choices. That is an entirely different conversation we could start in and entirily different context. Does this make any sense? I always have trouble putting down my thoughts in a coherent way. Thank you for starting this conversation!

Most of the backlash I believe is her talking about how healthy she really is in the past. But i could be wrong. About your comment on whats healthy our not. Yes doctors barely get to learn anything about nutrition. However they can just refer to studies that are published to determine certain things. For example there is a correlation with being at a certain body fat with diseases, bone issues, ect.

Great video! I hadn't thought about this from the company perspective. I thought a really false assumption of a lot of people "against" this cover is that we absorb ideas about health from magazines, social media etc. The images that we see influence our body image...I don't think that we look at pictures of fat or skinny bodies and have them directly influence what we think is healthy. Tess Holiday doesn't make women aspire to be 130kg...she (and others alike) make women more comfortable with a broader range of body types and helps people realise that weight doesn't need to define happiness. The vast majority of people know that it is healthy to exercise, to eat fruit and veg and wholegrains, etc. Representation of fat bodies doesn't jeopardise this knowledge.

only kind of related to the video, but I think mental health is way more important than physical health (though they are very linked)

I want your hair color!!!!

thin does not equal virtuous. You brought up an interesting point that magazines like Cosmo created the anti-fat rhetoric to begin with and these reparations might be too little too late. But they still carry a lot of clout, at least in the abstract. So them taking a step to saying, "we're sorry, we were wrong" is pretty great. Fantastic video!

May i know what lipstick are you wearing?

Yes yes yes!!! ❤️

Oh my GOD 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

I'm curious about that article you mention, but I couldn't find it. Do you have the link? Great video

Yes yes and yes

The conversation surrounding “health” and “healthy bodies” really needs to make a dramatic shift. My dad and I watched a ted talk the other and the speaker was talking about “thin outside, fat inside” and how thin people, people you think are “healthy” have so many fat deposits in their organs, where as a “fat” person is actually healthy because their fat is just under skin, it’s not sitting in their organs. My brother is thin, but he eats utter crap everyday, but my mother is “overweight” and she eats incredibly healthy and works out almost everyday. I bet she doesn’t have any fat in her organs, and my brother does. I’ve also suffered greatly at the hands of magazines and models and the idea that thin is the best. I’m naturally a small person, I am very thin boned, and didn’t weight 100lbs until I was 15. I developed disordered eating habits, something I’m still trying to break to this day! Because it was shoved down my throat that skinny is the best and getting older (im 24) and gaining weight was bad! Women naturally gain more weight in their hips, thighs and stomachs when they mature because our body is getting ready to have babies. We naturally gain this weight, and retain this weight. I’m really happy you’ve called out the complicated nature of this organization even though they’ve chosen to highlight you. That shows you have integrity and honesty. Also this is just an AMAZING video. 15/10

crisi is an understatement as over 65% of the country is over weight or obese and also the nhs spends most of its budget dealing with both the physical and mental issues that come with obesity also i have yet to see and obese person over the age of 50 and if you want to atleast see youe grand kids i wouldnt advise being so big at a young age also interms of magazines and the industry sayings its fine to be obese will lead to a situation where the nation is to big to move and do any form of physical work as in required physical work to maintain the country in anyway shape or form and we will all end up looking like people in the Walle Film on mobility scooters
