No one mentioned obesity except you.
Stop projecting your own self-hatred into others.
No. An unhealthy body is not attractive. Reject complacency and obesity.

How is promoting healthy living hatred?

Obesity is a result of many things. It’s mostly hereditary, so the comment you are answering is right.
Just like other cases of “unhealthy”. Just like with them, though, it’s possible to find one’s optimum in food and sports and sleep to feel better, and a person who feels better is usually more attractive.
But looking like models you can find in the interwebs is just not possible if you are not already like them.

Obesity is not hereditary. It is calories in, calories out. You dont have to look like a model, but you dont have to be fat.
People who feel better are healthy because they aren’t obese.

Obesity is not hereditary.
It usually is.
It is calories in, calories out.
Passing through your individual system. Mine, for example, very badly processes sugars. One teaspoon of sugar in tea means I stink like cat piss in half an hour after drinking that tea.
You dont have to look like a model, but you dont have to be fat.
There are “fat” models, and also it’s usually not your choice as I have previously said.
In case someone thinks I have a skin in the game - I’m as thin as a skeleton. But I have family members overweight and you really don’t know what you’re talking about, they are among the most healthy eating people I know and still their weight requires precision and discipline in their diet, both more than you likely ever achieved in life, sorry if rude.
People who feel better are healthy because they aren’t obese.
Yeah, it’s better to be healthy and rich than sick and poor, as they say to such statements where I live.

Show me where obesity is hereditary and not habit based?
Sugar is still calories and still comes out as burned energy and processing those calories does not matter because it is still burned as energy.
They may eat healthy but they eat a lot of healthy food which is still calories and they don’t exercise which is how you burn calories.
Why are you taking personal attacks at me? Obesity is literally a self control issue. If you dont exercise, don’t eat as much. If you eat a ton, you have burn those calories or they will store up. This is the just how this works.

There a vast amount of space between unhealthy physique and the unrealistic beauty standards in media.

There is also a vast amount of space between a normal human body and the bodies that most Americans now have. That has nothing to do with the unrealistic beauty standards in media (which is also a thing)
Obesity is bad, and it annoys me when people start defending it as being beautiful. It’s not, it will kill you in loads of unpleasant ways.
Get healthy, exercise, eat less, eat less sugars

Nobody in the thread above mentioned obesity. Nobody is saying you have to be attracted to obese people. Or disputing that’s it’s unhealthy.
It remains true that there is a lot of space between this extreme and the extreme portrayed in media. Body weight is not the only standard, it’s one of many.

… Nobody mentioned obesity but we’re talking about body weight… I mean, it’s on topic, y’know.
And while body weight is not the only standard, it is a good indication of health. If you’re twice overweight, you will die sooner and likely in a not so comfortable way. Handhaving that away with “well, it’s one thing but there are others too” feels a bit disingenuous.
Yeah, there are loads of ways to die but this one is very preventable

I’ve met people far more beautiful than most you can see in mainstream media, let alone adult materials.
(And in case one bitch with ASPD is stalking me, no, I don’t mean her ; that is, this is true for her too.)
