If you are fat and disgusting, but your friends are telling you that you’re beautiful, you need to find your friends because they are lying to your face

When the progressives are in power, they force diversity on everyone with threats if they don't comply. Companies know that fat and gross doesn't sell but they had to do it and they hired departments that made it so they could comply with the bullshite. Returning to Trump has allowed all of the diversity BS to end, thus, now you are seeing ads returning to normal. The lunatic fringe doesn't want this, but the majority of our country are tired of it.

This shite has been going on for 30 years

What’s really interesting is seeing this stuff unfold real time. I know a social media acquaintance that was all into the “Body Positive” movement and all that. Funny thing is being unhealthy has consequences that eventually caught up. Changes were made, weight has been very clearly lost, and that message has covertly disappeared.

I personally don’t think the adverts promoting plus sized women by marketers were any cultural conspiracy to make being fat okay or for fat women to feel better about themselves
Marketers wisely noticed that most women are fat and they changed their marketing to target the women buying their clothes. You don’t get someone to buy your jeans with “hey you’ll still look like a walrus, but at least your arse crack will be covered”. You say “wow look how beautiful this woman is in our size xxxL leggings”

Nintendo isn't body positive, that's for sure

its because men are realistic and accept and women fantasize and tear down.
of course this is a general statement and doesnt apply to all.

I'd agree but veterans, cops, and EMTs that have seen some gruesome shite get a pass.

fair point
maybe i should say men are arrogant.

I think you almost have to work out to stay in shape these days. I don’t think that was the case long ago. If you ate well and were not a slob on the couch, you could be in shape.

People by and large work more sedentary jobs today than they ever did before.
We also have less walkable cities, have longer commutes, etc.
Foods are more processed (and shitty food is more affordable). People have less time to cook due to single-income homes being more the exception than the norm these days.
There's also a shite ton of misinformation out there regarding what healthy eating even looks like, thanks to social media.
It's not hard to look at how we got here if you look at the small, incremental changes across the course of a day that have reduced movement and healthier eating.

Eat less. You aren’t doing shite. Simple

Chicken thighs are like $3/lb and rice and vegetables are cheap as frick. You can eat for $5-$6 per day. Less than $300/month. Pork is even cheaper.

You can cook 2-3 times a week
