[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does body positivity mean that obesity is not necessarily unhealthy? I know people who are 40+ BMI and not at all bothered by it or trying to lose weight. They love to eat, drink, and socialize with other similarly obese people. It’s like they find power in numbers. What I don’t see them doing is exercising or eating healthy foods. Only copious alcoholic beverages and restaurant meals. [/quote]

OP here.  I don’t think of it this way.  I think of it as the opposite of pro-Ana.  [/quote]

Pro-Ana is the other extreme. Obviously unhealthy and dangerously so. Maybe pro-obesity is not as immediately dangerous as pro-Ana, but still. Is it good public health policy to glorify obesity or to say you can be obese and healthy? I’m not talking about slightly overweight or borderline obese. I’m talking about 300+ pounds people who make it a lifestyle to be morbidly obese and proud.[/quote]

Living life as a fat person is not glorifying obesity. It’s just...living. Doing the same things that thin or average sized people and it being normal. [/quote]
