I don’t know if any of you are familiar with the fitness model Maria Kang and the photo of her and her 3 young children which displays the phrase “What’s your excuse?” that became pretty controversial. The whole message is to convey that Maria Kang has had 3 kids and looks fantastic, there is no reason why you can’t, so what is your excuse?

This ignited a bit of controversy from both sides.
One side from acceptance movement, urging Maria that shaming people into losing weight and feeling bad about themselves is not the way to do things.
The other side says that Maria means no harm and that this should be inspirational, overweight people are a drain and need to lose the weight and Maria is simply doing a service to everyone.
Of course there is a middle ground too.
I’m curious to know, what is your opinion on all of this. I have mine but I’d love to know yours.
