    but I think quite the opposite has happened actually: most people in media are a normal healthy weight, but they’ve been demonized as having “impossible” bodies, and I think a major driver of that is people who don’t want to admit that their body is unhealthy

    What is this based on?

        No? My claim is based on countless studies over decades. We know for a fact that there are unhealthy standards of beauty/body types pushed in media, advertising, etc. and that they are harmful to our society, particularly for women. This is a measured, proven thing.

        You are providing a competing theory and you need sources.
