Why does it matter? Because all things being equal, we should care about everyone's health if we aren't just complete sociopaths, and we all live in a society, and part of that means that little changes that make people happier make everyone's lives better, including someone conquering their obesity and living a healthy lifestyle. But as a social influencer, she also has the ability to both telegraph healthy or unhealthy habits to her followers, so whether she is living and encouraging a healthy or unhealthy lifestyle does matter more than most.

Cool... and the discussion of what burden/responsibility people in the public eye have to be role models is a discussion to have... but this is mostly a thread about people shitting on a fat person in the public eye for no other reason than she's fat (or a black woman, which has it's own, additional baggage to unpack).

This whole thing has been an argument between, "Maybe we shouldn't be shitty to people, even famous people, for being who they are," and, "nuh-uh, she's a porker and she needs to be reminded by strangers that she is."
