Even though there has been a body positivity movement and large brands (Target, Victoria's Secret) have changed marketing material to present there designs with people of all body types, the fact remains that humans are a visual species that are driven by aesthetic attributes of what is considered "beautiful" and "popular". Today that happens to be fit and athletic (or whatever the Kardashians are doing these days) and social media clearly presents these folks to the youth while simultaneously pushing the idea of medical procedures to attain these looks.

You make it sound like not being overweight is just about looks, but there are really important health reasons too.

Body positivity will go down as one of the most destructive marketing campaigns of all time. It helped lock in big food and big pharma revenues and avoid scrutiny at the expense of people's health and amplified healthcare costs for everyone.

It's not body positivity that is driving the obesity epidemic. It started long before that movement existed. Body positivity is just a coping mechanism because we don't have anything better.
