This is a Big Deal, but people refuse to accept it, because if it truly is a Big Deal, then they (you know who I'm talking about) need to accept some responsibility.
I'm speaking of course about
obesity. It is...
- Gross to look at,
- Largely preventable, and
- Unhealthy.
And you can talk all day in nonsense circles, but fat is not sexy or attractive in any way, and the relatively recent push to "make people feel good about themselves" is insidious. It is NOT OK to be fat. And they can put fat women in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue and in Victoria's Secret catalogs until they run out of fucking ink, but I guarantee you nobody is getting a woody at the sight of these cows.
This is analogous to the ads on TV that used to claim that "you can't quit" cigarettes by yourself. Really? In the 90's, half of all smokers (tens of millions of people) had quit all by themselves, simply by taking control of their own behavior.
You don't have to be fat; the people who actually have a medical condition that prevents them from dieting are...mainly an illusion. It is enlightening to look at pictures of people on crowded beaches in the 50's and 60's; essentially none of them is fat. Now look. Good God! It ain't genetic, folks, it is a failure to eat and live properly.
Advertisers are conflicted now. They know that attractive people draw viewers, but they also know that half of their target customer base is people who are obese, so some of them are putting fat, homely - or downright ugly - people in their ads.
I don't patronize such advertisers.
