Self Magazine debuted its first digital cover this week, which showed plus-sized model Tess Holliday and told readers that her health is none of your business.
The health and wellness magazine posted the cover to its Instagram account and included a portion of Editor-in-Chief Carolyn Kylstras editors letter, which explains why the publication decided to give Holliday a platform.
Holliday identifies as a fat woman; we chose to give her a platform because she has insightful things to say about thriving in a world that devalues bodies of size, the letter said. We also chose to feature her because size representation is necessary, especially for a national health media brand that can help guide the conversation about what it means to be healthy and how to make health accessible.
It went on to add that a persons level of health cant be determined "just by looking at them."
And moreover, you should know that concern trolling using a persons perceived health to justify making them feel bad about themselves isnt just counterproductive, its abusive, it said.
Some commenters on the post applauded the magazines decision, with one user writing, Thanks for showing ALL kinds of beautiful women! and another saying they adore this!

That is all BS. Her lifestyle might be her business but her future health problems will be our problem.
Al Bundy would reply:”Did she try a bucket of KFC?”
She might get harpooned!
She has her clothes made by Omar the Tentmaker.
No matter how hard they try, they will never succeed with (Men anyways...) in convincing that fat girls are as pretty as skinny ones.
You win the internets with that.
That is NOT a "plus-size" model. That's a super-super-super plus-sized model! :-O
“How about a mag that glorifies unemployed meth guys..?”
Some animals are more equal than others.
I love me some Wilford Brimley! Especially Evil Wilford Brimley >;-]
And a hell of a lot of it at that.
What a porker!
Guilty!
She doesn’t even have to commit a crime.

Wilford tried to stop Jack from opening the relief valves. He was by the book. The book said you can’t do that.
Never bet your life on one single gauge.

Fortunately, there were no Soviet SA-2 or SA-5’s in the visitor’s observation area just above.
“Plus size?”
Okay, how many “pluses?”
5.56mm
First they ruined women’s magazines with commie politics, now this. Going out of business must be their business model.
Mega Plus.
“the one on her arm” - lol
Society is truly regressing.
There is already a huge price to pay.
It’s called diabetes/heart attack/stroke and other unwelcome niceties.
