Social “norms” are always changing.
There isn’t much we can do about that.
The part about this story that is missing is the impact of diet on these conditions. Embracing obesity is a dangerous course to take. The costs of that on society are going to be enormous in 10-15 years.
And the fact is that even though the magazines and Tick Tok videos are pushing this acceptance...the reality is that most of society “rejects” it. That is not going to change anytime soon. It’s important to remember the adage about news: Its “man bites dog”. This stuff is published because its doesn’t adhere to the “norms.”
Just because it’s in a publication doesn’t mean that it’s a cultural norm. Not for one second.
“Embracing obesity is a dangerous course to take. The costs of that on society are going to be enormous in 10-15 years.”
I see them at the gym. Generally they are not doing cardio but lifting weights. I’m glad to see them doing whatever at the gym. But its apparent they have accepted their obesity and making the best of it.
That’s where we are. A soft society with a huge obesity problem.
