Never trust the media: “Body positivity” is not healthy

No it’s not!

Never trust the “woke” media.  Never.

They push an alternate reality upon the masses all in the name of “body positivity.”

This is woke code for obesity.

Obese singer Lizzo is promoted for her “body positivity” under the guise of “women’s empowerment” and “self love.”

Lizzo is an apparent icon of “body positivity.”

Random obese women (and men) make demands on social media under the guise of “discrimination” and “pain and vulnerability” due to their plump sizes. They are known on social media as “fat influencers.”

Pushing a narrative that is a lie.

Yet this “body positivity” movement to promote obesity is a lie. A dangerous one.

A new study  now reveals that being overweight is linked to 18 types of cancer. From the NY Post:

Being overweight or obese raises the risk of developing several different types of cancer, including breast, bowel, kidney and pancreatic.

In all, 13 types of the disease were previously known to be associated with overweight body types — but now, that number has climbed to 18 different cancers.

And the risk of developing cancer begin when people are young — between the ages 18 and 40.

The results of our study support a re-evaluation of the cancer burden associated with overweight and obesity, which currently is likely underestimated,” said Dr. Heinz Freisling, co-author of the study, as quoted in the Independent.”

We all know that obesity causes many health risks. Yet many “influencers,” celebrities and media deny science all in the name of wokeness. Don’t fall for their false narratives.

Stay healthy my friends!

Obesity is not “body posivity”

For decades the “body positivity” movement has focused on having society accept all shapes and sizes of women, while maintaining a healthy body.

Unfortunately, our society has become more “woke” with regards to “body positivity” and therefore more adept at blurring the lines of reality, with ill regard for the health consequences of obesity.

The latest to blur the line of reality is rapper/singer Lizzo with her new line of shapewear entitled, “Yitty.”

(WARNING: Eye bleach may be required after view the following photographs.)

Lizzo is launching a new line of shapewear in mid-April. Her statement regarding the new line: “Instead of thinking about size in this linear way, we’re thinking about it on a spectrum where everyone is included. Everyone’s size is just their size. It’s not high, it’s not low. It’s not big, it’s not small. It’s just your size.

The singer’s shapewear line will feature sizes 6X to XS.

You can read (and see more pics!) all about her new shapewear line here.

Ladies, there is nothing absolutely positive about obesity. And your “size” can be high. 

In reality, doctors measure your height and weight to determine if you are overweight (or obese) and need to drop some pounds. Your clothes size can also be a very clear sign that you are getting overweight.

Doctors also will measure your BMI. See the CDC standards for BMI and how one can determine if they are overweight/obese here.

There are many side effects of being overweight/obese: High blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, many types of cancer, and even severe illness if you contract COVID. See the CDC web page on the health effects of being overweight/obese here.

So please quit lying to us, Rizzo. Your size can be high and it can be big. So big in fact, that it could be deadly.
