Being obese is not a political statement.
There’s nothing anticapitalist about celebrating overconsumption.
Im trying to follow their logic. I could see there being something to criticize in that healthier food is more expensive so poverty and obesity are often correlated. So putting all the emphasis on individual responsibility while giving systems that allow for people to not be able to afford to eat reasonably a pass could be seen as akin to telling individual consumers that the climate is changing cos they didn’t recycle enough last week when corporations are blasting poison into the air.
But.. I dont see how being critical of a capitalist system that neglects people into obesity through poverty would lead to celebrating said obesity. You could be critical of peoples lack of access to healthy food, good healthcare, or education about nutrition, and understand that obese folks arent all just tumblr HAES warriors eating all the cake, but still recognize that obesity is not a good thing. You could be critical of the aspects of our society that make it more difficult for some people to be healthy, but wouldn’t your goal be “let’s fix that so everyone can be healthier” instead of “fuck it, it’s not all my fault so it’s not at all my fault”?
Isnt that like saying, “it’s harder to get a post secondary education if you dont have lots of money” and instead of working to make school more affordable or removing barriers that keep some people from going, just being like “fuck education anyway. The word education is just a capitalist ploy. There are things that make it harder for some people than others so the whole endeavour is trash”

As the weather warms up let’s not forget this. There is no such thing as bikini bodies, only bodies in bikinis.
Cherish yours
I somewhat agree with this. Loving how your body looks is more than ‘nice’. It’s fucking liberating. It’s mind blowing. It’s hard but worth it
