New York girls track team members suspended after sports bra protest

Normalizing obesity for the sake of someone's feelings is legitimately wrong. Sparring them the reality that their life choices will mess with them later in life does more damage than good.

That's on a micro level with one person, then we expand that ideology to a country? Yeah that's normalizing a physical ailment and that's not okay.

It's perfectly fine to be big boned, naturally stout, or a bit jusky because no one is perfect but telling someone whose 250+300 lbs + that they're perfectly normal or should be accepted as such is simply rediculous.

You can argue mental health that the food is a coping mechanism or X, but the damage to her overall physical body is substantially worse, especially overtime.

What's the point of mental health if your body doesn't last.
