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....

*snicker* There’s a couple good ‘Al Bundy vs. Fat Chicks’ compilation videos lurking around YouTube. Nobody could fat-shame like Ed O’Neill.......his sarcasm was like dripping, boiling hot venom.
Those chicks are heading for ventilators when they get covid
Healthy? Nope.
“Al Bundy is too politically incorrect if his show was premiering today.”
MWC and All in Family two greatest and funniest shows ever made.
So can I start identifying as a rich, young athletic man instead of a poor, old fat one?
Flame me all to hell, but “plus size” is a deal breaker with me. Hey, it is MY preference. Not yours. Not the Central Committee. Not Vanity Fair or Cosmo. MINE. And no, Michelle Obama was not, in any sense or form, attractive.
Please she is an okay looking woman who figures out if I just stay fat I can have a career. If I was actually in shape I’d never get booked.
You are not their target audience. Most of their audience are lesbians. 75% of lesbians are fat.
So who, in your opinion, is an attractive, plus-sized woman? Gimmick or no.

Of course, if obesity is okay, why does 'Halo Top' make, market, and sell a low calorie ice cream?
Magazines in particular are advertising to quitters who don't have enough motivation to even lean over and grab the television remote control.
Victoria’s Big Secret !!
Any doctors going to speak up? Or are they too busy asking kids if their folks have guns in the house?
I was curious if there was any hard data backing your statement or if it was just a personal observation. Looks like you are right:
“Harvard’s School of Public Health, which has been running a four-year research project into why lesbians are prone to obesity, has found that the fact 75 per cent of them are overweight or obese is all down to them having ‘low athletic self-esteem’”

75% of lesbians are fat.
I think that is a great underestimation.
That poor sofa!
Ta Tonka...I learned that watching Dances with Wolves.
Can you pass the Army Physical Fitness Test? Do you meet Army height/weight/body fat%
If not, there’s a problem.
One that should be kept secret forever.
How dare you call me fat to my face.
Well, I’d do it behind your back but my car only has a half a tank of gas. Al Bundy
To her face.
