you could keep the best part of pony positivity and mix it with guidance to fix the epidemic and have most people be ok with itI was thinking the other day about how we are being served mixed messages.
On the one hand "body positivity" is being promoted, "healthy and beautiful at any weight," and on the other hand this "epidemic."
Can't be both.
the best part of body positivity is the idea that you don’t shame the fat person. They are not bad because they are fat, but they are not healthy because they are fat
or they are headed towards being unhealthy because of their weight
you can make the message something other than ”fat people are bad” and change it to ”people at or above a certain weight are increasing the likelihood of many different medical issues”
and most, not all, but most people would be ok with it
