I agree it's a mixed bag of messages. Should people be shamed for their body's type/ size/ abilities? No. Whitney's message is 'no body shaming', which is important in a society that puts a LOT of emphasis on looks and weight. Is it possible to be overweight and fit? Yes. People don't have to be a certain size to be physically fit. Can being morbidly obese increase risk of certain health problems? Yes. People who are overweight and obese are at increased risk of diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, and other illnesses. Is there a lot of drama in the show? Yes, too much for me! But that's part of the reason reality shows are so popular, so to each their own!
