Using athletes for health-related propaganda is ludicrous because any elite athlete is an example of how athletics are not a health pursuit. They sacrifice longevity for short term performance. When we talk about “healthy looks different” for people, the reality is that the body type does not involve having super physiological levels of fat. It’s limb length, torso length, or torso width and the shape of your pelvis. If everyone ate a balanced diet and exercised to be in a caloric maintenance (assuming everyone starts at a healthy weight), there wouldn’t be any obese people. Full stop. People would only look different due to the aforementioned limb and torso shapes/lengths. This whole mess only really exists because fat acceptance co-opted body positivity, since “fat acceptance” while we’re facing an obesity epidemic is like advocating for more fentanyl usage while we’re in an opioid crisis
