Cosmo Magazine Runs Series Of Obese Women On February’s ‘This Is Healthy’ Cover
Daily Caller ^ | January 4, 2021 | Marlo Safi

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....

Magazines? Lol. People still read those? Cosmo has always been subversive trash from the usual suspects like all of feminism.

Meanwhile, obesity is a huge risk factor when it comes to covid-19. I guess no indignity is too great to suffer in the face of this pandemic ... except for losing weight. Good to know there’s a line out there, eventually.

The thing is that these women, plus-size or not, are not attractive. There are a lot of plus-sized models who are just gorgeous (Ashley Graham comes immediately to mind). This? Plus-sized wokeness, I guess, is a thing.

If our leaders cared about the wellness of Americans during this pandemic, they would have informed us of the relative frequency of the various risk factors and comorbidities for having a bad outcome from a positive coronavirus test. Then if people wanted to, they could do something about a risk factors such as obesity. Instead the CDC and politicians have been very secretive about which are the risk factors that lead to dire consequences.

If we knew the true frequency of each risk factor, we would be much better able to have each person make an informed decision based on real evidence. Instead most government officials want people to be afraid to the point where we now have the fear candidate seemingly ready for the White House.

A person’s heart and other organs and their joints are not designed to sustain the equivalent of two or three people instead of one. Furthermore, and not that Cosmos would care, the Bible says that gluttony and sloth are deadly sins. So argue with the medical community AND the Bible about the healthiness or wisdom of obesity (not talking about the small percentage of people who truly can’t stay at a normal weight for reasons outside their control).

Aren’t the obese more susceptible to an adverse outcome as far as Covid? So Cosmo wants more women to die?

Unhealthy. Why can’t they trust the science?

Why isn’t Socialist Networking media FAcT Checking them?

From the article

>>The COVID-NET report, published by the CDC in April, also found that of the patients who’d contracted coronavirus, 9 out of 10 of them had an underlying health condition. Of those patients, 48.3% were obese.

What they don’t tell you is that 42.4% of ALL adults are obese.
