Apologies for the low resolution. It was a mobile ad and all I could get was a screenshot.

    I am extremely skinny and look unhealthy and kinda similar to the model in that way, even though I eat normally and I think even very healthy. My dad looks like that too. Being 2 meters tall also doesn’t exactly help. Just saying that you shouldn’t judge people so easily and you can hurt someone also pretty easily. Some people just have being fat or skinny in their genes.

      Absolutely right. I would not judge you if I saw you at the supermarket. But this dude is the face of a fashion and beauty brand. They are pushing this body type (rarely occurs naturally in healthy folks like you) and mostly occurs on people with health problems. In a way they are pushing a non healthy image to many people that are not like you. I would even dare to say you are a very minuscule porcentage of people with this body type that are 100% healthy so this is being pushed to folks that have lovehandles and now they hate themselves.

        Yeah, given that people have different body types, making any type the good one or worse, the right one is just wrong, and beauty business plays a big role in the problem.

      Thank you. There’s apparently been a fine line between promoting body acceptance and shitting on thin body types. Some people seem to think it’s not even a natural body type at all and anyone who’s thin is just anorexic. It’s like we’ve been completely left out of the equation unless we’re being looked down on. Yeah, I’m right there with you on this.

        Being 2m tall they have to eat quite a bit more than average, and it sounds like they’re not.

          Yeah, I’m not much shorter and my daily intake is around 3000kcal. I used to be super skinny too, and that didn’t change until I started eating more than what I thought was “normal”

          The way I interpret the comment is that they are saying “If you would eat normally, you couldn’t be that thin.”

          It’s a reference to the fact that energy cannot be destroyed, only transformed into a different form.

            Which would only make sense if every human body processed every molecule ingested in the exact same way

            “The way I interpret this comment is” if this is all there is to it, then we should all be the same weight all the time, apparently.

            It’s amazing what people think they can “interpret” about another whole entire anonymous human being they know literally nothing about, other than “thin.”

            These comments are totally proving the OC’s point though.
