Cosmopolitan And More Mainstream Media Promotes Obesity As Being “Healthy”

Cosmopolitan and more of the mainstream outlets are promoting obesity for a while as being a “healthy” lifestyle. Inclusiveness and “acceptance” has gone too far these days, and it’s basically promoting deadly options for one’s lifestyle.

Check out some covers from important publications below.

Bored Panda wrote a piece recently in which they condemn such articles.

One of them notes that “First, we need to settle on the definitions. “If we’re to listen to the World Health Organization, people are overweight if their body mass index exceeds 25 and obese if it is over 30,” general practitioner, medical researcher, and founder of PrimeHealth Clinical Research, Iris Gorfinkel, M.D., told Bored Panda, adding that this measure has its problems.

“The body mass index does not take into consideration muscle mass, it only considers height and weight. So that’s a bit of a problem. You know, better research is showing that, in fact, health outcomes are more associated with waist circumference. So people with big thighs and hips do not have the same health outcomes as those with big waist circumference.”

“It’s called visceral fat. That’s like a spare tire sitting on the waistline, that’s what predicts poorer health outcomes. And that’s what surrounds our liver, pancreas, stomach, and intestines. It turns out, the more visceral fat a person has—that’s what you can pinch on your waistline—the more fat surrounds the heart … and that is associated with an increased risk of heart attack and stroke.”

According to the latest news coming from mainstream media, children with obesity should be “treated” aggressively. It looks like experts are not focused anymore on prevention but on aggressive treatments and even surgery. Check out the latest disturbing reports.
