Cosmopolitan is featuring multiple “plus-size,” “fat” women in a magazine issue that commends every body size as “healthy.”

The February 2021 edition of Cosmopolitan features women of various body sizes with superimposed text reading “This is healthy! 11 women on why wellness doesn’t have to be one-size-fits-all.”

Callie Thorpe, a “plus size” blogger and model is among the featured women, and described to Cosmopolitan her involvement with the “body neutrality movement, which focused on what your body can do rather than how it looks.”

“Plus-size people often feel like they can’t be part of the wellness space,” Thorpe told Cosmopolitan. “We are trolled for being fat, then can feel excluded from exercise because our bodies don’t fit the narrative.” Thorpe has previously described doctor’s recommendations for her to lose weight, and remarks made by strangers about developing diabetes.

“People tell me that my husband is going to be a widower because I’ll die of Diabetes before him,” she told Not Plant Based in 2018. “And they say they’d rather have cancer than be fat.”

Jessamyn Stanley, a yoga teacher who self-describes as a “healthy fat person” and “fat femme,” is also featured. Stanley has a significant following on Instagram and runs fitness classes....

I guess that is one way to try to get sales up.

Cue Al Bundy.

Well to paraphrase the late, great Johnny Cochran:

If the hips are wide, you must deride....

[crusty old prospector]

That’ll move the product. Hard to believe they still publish that rubbish anyway.

Sales is about the only thing that cover will get up....

I never agree with extreme radical Marxists about anything but this time, Cosmo is actually right. Those "Cosmo cover women" are EXTREMELY healthy!

The tense “future perfect” should be banned.

Well this should expand their potential readership.

There is one aspect of "Freedom" that I shall never yield. And that is what I consider to be a beautiful woman. I will never consider these women beautiful. I am not saying they don't have worth. I am just saying they are not MY idea of beautiful.

The final act of despotism is to make people believe what they do not naturally believe.

It's even worse - you are a hideous bigot because you refuse to date transwomen. :)

Bill Whittle was talking about this type of cancel culture today, and he points out that it doesn't work at all if you don't care. Young men crave masculine role models and reject "woke" Hollywood products across the board - there is great opportunity for conservatives to appeal to this group, he points out, by trashing and ridiculing wokeness everywhere it rears its head.

Cosmo deserves to be laughed off the newsstand for these covers.

2021 is shaping up to be a real sh** show.

" . . . in an issue that commends every body size as healthy"

Contrary to a hundred years of medical science. Obesity is also one of the co-morbidities in the Covid-19 pandemic. Will the Masters of the Universe block this story from being disseminated or viewed, on the grounds that it is false and dangerous? I doubt it.
