@nohomo4774 But models are not skin and bones for the most part. They eat properly and exercise. That's why they have great bodies. It's their job to look good.

@TheMohawkNinja Yes, they just need to eat properly for 6 months to become normal. Obesity OTOH is difficult to fix in adults.

@TheMohawkNinja Perhaps. But the number of roly-poly people (especially women these days) with no self-awareness that wearing booty shorts and a top that only covers the top half of her boobs is physically revolting. At least fat guys wear big jeans and a giant t-shirt, proving they have a smidge of self-awareness.

@SWNelson7 People need support Strangers don't give support, and society cannot normalize what is a psychological problem. Acquiescence and saying "you're beautiful the way you are" is not doing society and the person any favors.

@sthubbins4038 They actually fall into the range of "normal". You've become so inured with fat people everywhere that you think "normal" is abnormal.

@TheMohawkNinja Well, there's one cause: Psychological Issues. Being fat is only the symptom.

@zackwalker1721 Exactly right. Eating habits are learned at home. And an understanding of physical fitness and an insistence that your kids engage in some sporting activity and artistic endeavor is part of good parenting. The Ancient Greeks had it right: A well rounded person is literate and knows how to defend themselves.

@zackwalker1721 It's not about hectoring, its about being an example. If they see their parents active, participating in even fun sports (pickleball?) and eating healthy, and not been crazy about it, then it sets the tone.

@zackwalker1721 I'm not sure if older people should be setting the tone for the physical activity of younger people When you have children you are a young person yourself. We're not talking about when the children are 16 or 20. By that time, the habit is either there or it's not.

You should be afraid of becoming fat. Fat people will die prematurely, have a lot of medical problems and in general will struggle with things like "sitting in a plane", "walking to the mailbox" or "going up or down stairs". Note that the "reporter" was a normal weight.
