Do people who think showing a fat model is promoting obesity also think that showing a disabled model is promoting disability?
And since Tess Holliday is very outspoken about working out, maybe the idea that people are worried about showing "unhealthy" people as role models is really just thinly veiled bigotry and ableism.
The argument is so flawed. Why would not being in perfect health be something we had to hide from people anyway?

Health isn't linear. People get sick. People become disabled. Some people recover and some people don't but neither is morally superior???
People SHOULD know that they're allowed to be beautiful and inspiring at any level of health.

It helps a lot to know that we're not useless to other people when we're not in perfect health. We're more than our health.
