When Obesity is a Spectacle

Congratulations to the latest reality TV show that pushed the limits of acceptability by encouraging a participant to gain over 90 pounds in just six months! Because nothing screams entertainment like faking obesity, right?

Watching someone go from fit and fabulous to flabby in such a short period of time is just painful. But hey, who cares about the long-term health consequences of such extreme weight gain, right? As long as it makes for good TV, that’s all that matters!

Let’s not forget about all the people who have struggled with weight for years or even their entire lives. It’s not like their struggles and journeys matter, right? No, let’s just trivialize it all by making a mockery of it on a reality TV show.

And don’t worry about the fact that gaining that much weight in such a short period of time is not only unhealthy, but also incredibly insensitive. Who cares about being respectful towards others when you can just make them the butt of a joke for the sake of entertainment?

But it’s not just this particular show that’s guilty of promoting unhealthy and dangerous weight gain. There are plenty of other shows out there that do the same thing. Because why promote positive body images and healthy lifestyles when you can just make a spectacle out of obesity?

Let’s also not forget about the long-term health consequences of extreme weight gain. Heart disease, diabetes, and other serious illnesses? Pfft, who cares about that when you can just make a few bucks off of someone’s health?

But wait, there’s more! Why stop at promoting unhealthy weight gain when you can also promote harmful and dangerous weight loss methods? Let’s not forget about the shows that encourage contestants to lose weight in unhealthy and unsustainable ways, all for the sake of ratings.

It’s time to call out the reality TV industry for promoting harmful and dangerous behavior. Gaining excessive amounts of weight in a short period of time or losing weight in an unhealthy way is not a joke, and it’s not something that should be encouraged or entertained.

Let’s hold these shows and participants accountable for their actions and work towards promoting healthy and positive body images for everyone. Because at the end of the day, promoting a healthy lifestyle and positive body image is far more important than making a quick buck off of someone’s health.
