How is that better? How do you determine what “looks“ healthy? That seems to me like a recipe for falling right back into the trappings of socially/culturally enforced body types.
It’s not that you have to clarify it, it’s that I don’t think you fully realize what you are saying. People say “I like people who are healthy,“ not even realizing that we all have different concepts of what that even means, generally informed by marketing which is part of the reason we have so many issues with people and body image today. It’s all clearly connected.
“Look healthy,” “are healthy,” it’s all the same problem. You’re acting like this is some clearly defined metric when a lot of the reason for even having this debate is because it isn’t.
Pretty undefined moving target unless you carry around your medical records and a rubric for what everything should be.
There’s an implied “[what looks] healthy is beautiful”…
We… obviously can’t peer into people’s cells while we’re walking around town and people browsing… I didn’t think I had to clarify this. 😄
