Really should be a legal requirement for a normal BMI to appear in media, then they wouldn’t be able load up on steroids
BMI is not a measure of health. It is a statistical tool.
To further illustrate your point, most of the men pictured are likely 'obese' by BMI standards
Yes, welcome to the conversation
We aren’t talking about the health of these moviestars on roids, we are talking about the effects they have on viewers’ self image
But that would also eliminate all obese people from the media. Which is like 30%+ of the population.
That would be a side benefit of an otherwise bad idea.
And the massively underweight that women are supposed to aspire to
Whichever way you skew it, unrealistic bodies shouldn’t be there
