Why does society say that being fat is healthy?

[ManHater]

I was 270 pounds now i am 220 and i have to say who in the right mind says being fat is healthy? Is it fat people online who want to ruin everyone else?

It does not, but a lot of people in the body positivity movement do.

Personally, I think you can be fat and healthy, but it's not a guaranteed thing. It depends on how heavy you are, fat distribution (moreso for women), how much muscle you have, your hobbies, diet, etc. At the end of the day, even if those things are good for you... there is still a risk with being fat.

I'm all for people being positive about their body's appearance, but it shouldn't blind those people from the fact that it's an unhealthy trait. Even for body builders they run into health risks if they get too big.

It’s not society in general, it’s mainly women who are basically saying accept me as I am. Especially in the states. Accept me w my 3 kids. Accept me w all my mental issues. A lot of this nonsense is coming from women. I’ve never heard of a plus size male model. If you don’t you’re in the wrong. It’s you who has the issue even though she’s borderline diabetic w high blood pressure, take psych meds w a higher body count than WWII.

It depends on which society. In Europe, we base on BMI, so you would have to be 6'7 tall to consider 220lbs healthy weight

It's just woke-tards. You can't take them seriously.

No one has ever said that obesity is healthy.
