DA - Nah, I'd say most people are largely in agreement that smoking, frequent moderate-to-heavy drinking, hard drug use, and abuse of prescription meds are behaviors that are hella bad for you, and claiming otherwise is messed up.

And people are pretty damn unanimous that anorexia and bulimia are bad for you and shouldn't be glorified.

Compulsive spenders, hoarders, degenerate gamblers, chronic unsafe drivers, people who have unsafe sex with lots of different partners - all unhealthy/unsafe lifestyles that people absolutely side-eye and rarely glorify. Hell, I get judgmental comments from my coworkers all the time because I drink 2-3 cans of energy drink per week.

There are exceptions, sure. E.g. workaholics are often praised (as long as they're male, or young females who don't have families--yet). But the idea that society praises and romanticizes most unhealthy lifestyles, and it's only obesity that society isn't cool with is just not true.

People and media regularly glamorize or romanticize smoking, drinking, hard drug use, thinness, compulsive spending, gambling, and frequent unsafe sex with many different partners. They also sometimes portray the idea that those things have bad sides if taken to an extreme, sure, and yes, people are widely in agreement that those things are bad if taken to extremes, but that doesn't mean that glorification of those things is not widespread in the culture at the same time.

(And to be clear, I don't really have a problem with media that glorifies those things myself, but what's good for the goose is good for the gander)
