That sh!t requires higher math.

Self Magazine debuted its first digital cover this week, which showed plus-sized model Tess Holliday and told readers that her “health is none of your business.”
The health and wellness magazine posted the cover to its Instagram account and included a portion of Editor-in-Chief Carolyn Kylstra’s editor’s letter, which explains why the publication decided to give Holliday “a platform.”
“Holliday identifies as a fat woman; we chose to give her a platform because she has insightful things to say about thriving in a world that devalues bodies of size,” the letter said. “We also chose to feature her because size representation is necessary, especially for a national health media brand that can help guide the conversation about what it means to be healthy and how to make health accessible.”
It went on to add that a person’s level of health can’t be determined "just by looking at them."
“And moreover, you should know that concern trolling — using a person’s perceived health to justify making them feel bad about themselves — isn’t just counterproductive, it’s abusive,” it said.
Some commenters on the post applauded the magazine’s decision, with one user writing, “Thanks for showing ALL kinds of beautiful women!” and another saying they “adore this!”

The normalization of obesity will exact a huge price down the road.
Yeah, but she is not even pretty in the face.
"I've got Fudge!"
That’s not a plus size, it’s an exponential size. Borders on infinity. But she is cute. And the Miss Piggy tat shows humor.

Macy’s Day Parade float coordinator: “We get great ideas from SELF!”
Dolly smiles, but perhaps the tat started earlier.
Guessing they’re not too concerned about subscriptions from the Fraud’s chosen people, due to her advanced age, and Miss Piggy (the one on her arm).
They said “plus size” - and I was expecting one of those slightly plumper models one now sees on clothing adverts....
Instead of “plus” they should have said EXPONENTIAL size model....
Is that a picture of herself and Miss Piggy on her arm? Narcissism and insulting herself at the same time? Don’t get thst.
That sh!t requires higher math.
LOL! I am soooo stealing that phrase!
Sells lots of copies at the ghetto quick marts.

People of color...where does it end?
She’s so big, when she got a tattoo, the shop had to send out for more ink.
People who more or less appear a normal weight for their height,yes, you can’t just look at them and say they have this or that health problem.
Looking at a person like Tess, no one will ever say her weight is a healthy one. Being that overweight is never good, it has no health advantages for that person.
In her case, a huge price to any road she travels.
You are even being too kind!
That is run and hide your face under the rug kinda ugly!
The future of leftism has no limits on their bad taste. Yikes..
Hey, if the online publication was trying to drum up attention? Well, it worked!
