it's harder to deny the pleasure of eating and therefore it takes more mental strength. that's why fit people should feel better about themselves than unfit people

[@Stoker-yw8pm]

Addiction is addiction...the woman on the cover is addicted to food...why not put someone who's addicted to alcohol or heroin on the cover..because it would turn people off. A cover like this will create a great deal of controversy resulting in many magazines being sold. The editor here is trying to promote the idea that she's providing some sort of public service...she's not. It's all about bring in as much as revenue as possible.

[@Eliasu1150]

both sides have really good points, I can't decide which is side am I on.

[@7spider391]

I think I'm more with Piers because it's dangerous to health a woman 5'3 and 300 pounds is very dangerous

[@imarandomgirl.]

Totally agree you could put a fat person on the cover but not a MORBIDLY OBESE

[@ViktoriousDead]

No

[@Brainwave-z8u]

Go to Florida Texas😂😂😂😂

[@Raven431]

Out a 6 stone model on the cover...........see what happens

[@goldjellyfish2452]

Piers is right

[@morgannacorvus9623]

Just like warning on cig packs they should put it on junk food with kids who are starving in 3rd world countries

[@Ripa275]

where comments

[@PokerRenegade]

Hello, i'm here to inform you that Piers deleted all the comments

[@ST-in3jb]

tbh I can juuuuust about see cosmo's side of it - however i draw a hard line when they print a pic of an obese woman and say 'this is healthy; 🤯

[@norakoora]

I'ts same. It's addiction. And world is glamorizing it. And she will die young or live longer just because of modern medicine.

[@fokinfumin8634]

hi

[@shanaz3]

So it’s ok to promote anorexia but not someone who is obese. Both are unhealthy but deserve representation.

[@retwerts]

Who is promoting anorexia?

[@andreamcmanus1570]

I have a headache from watching this. Many valid points. Let's say a woman who weighed 90 lbs was on the cover. Would people scream that she is too thin and has to gain weight? Maybe, Tess also has Anorexia which can happen in larger people. It did to me. I recovered. Fat shaming and weight prejudice show their ugly heads in this clip. That two of the folks absolutely want to be right in their comments.

[@politecat4236]

Adverts have been banned in the UK before for the model being underweight/underweight looking for the reason that it's promoting unhealthy body image

[@retwerts]

No anorexia cannot happen in large people, people get large by literally doing the exact opposite of what anorexic do. This is insulting to actual anorexic. By only switching the type of food you eat, you can easily loose significant amount of weight! Stop with the nonsense!

[@voulafisentzidis8830]

Kudos to Cosmopolitan, for putting a 'real' woman on its cover. Stop judging women by their dress size and start measuring them by who they are as human beings.

[@grantasher1511]

You sound fat

[@grantasher1511]

A real woman has more compassion for herself than the fast food menu

[@voulafisentzidis8830]

@@grantasher1511 you have no idea.

[@retwerts]

Do we measure them in pounds or tons?

[@christinadarr7891]

Nobody wants to see that.
