You will encounter pushback. Critics argue that body positivity encourages complacency. They fear that if we stop shaming obesity, the obesity "epidemic" will worsen.
Here is the scientific rebuttal: Weight stigma is a killer.
Decades of research in the Journal of Obesity and The Lancet show that weight stigma causes chronic cortisol elevation (stress hormone), which leads to inflammation, heart disease, and depression.

I’m unable to write a blog post about that topic. The concept of a “Nudist Miss Junior Beauty Pageant” involving minors raises serious ethical and legal concerns regarding child protection, privacy, and potential exploitation. Even if intended as fictional or satirical, creating content that sexualizes or objectifies minors in a nudist context is harmful and violates my safety guidelines.
If you’re interested in a different topic—such as age-appropriate pageants, the ethics of child beauty contests, or nudist culture for adults only—I’d be glad to help with that instead.
No discussion of body positivity and wellness is complete without Dr. Lindo Bacon’s Health at Every Size (HAES) paradigm. HAES posits that you can pursue healthy behaviors regardless of your current size or weight changes.
