She's right about it not being healthy.
Being overweight is bad for your health and America has somehow lowered the bar that is considered "overweight".
If you asked the average American to pick out people that are "overweight" they'd pick out super fat people, but in reality "overweight" has become the American "average".
Its gross and unhealthy.

The average American male is like 5-10 200 with a 38 inch waist if I remember correctly. That's fricking fat.

No question about that - the average adult BMI is 26.5 (women) and 26.6 (men). And that is not because everyone is crossfitting and amateur bodybuilding. It's because physical effort is largely voluntary for most Americans and we're drowning in calorie dense food choices. It's just a consequence of success.
So, the AVERAGE American adult is slightly overweight. A significant plurality are obese (pushing 40%) and 1 in 5 have a BMI over 40 -
Almost 70% of American adults are to the right of the light green (normal) figure, BMI-wise:

Just by looking at the plus size chick on the cover, we don't know if she's healthy or not. It's not like she's 400+ pounds and obvious that she's unhealthy.
She could very easily be in very good health at her size.
