The 2000's has been back style wise for a couple of years, but how bad was it back then? Were we over-exaggerating the normalization of fat jokes, fatphobia, diet culture? Or is it worse than we remember? Me merely mentioning the names of Jessica Simpson, Bridget Jones, Britney Spears, Natalie from Love Actually to others like Nicole Richie, Kate Moss or the entire show of America's next top model....you're conjuring up memories, right?
Today, we're dealing with diet culture thanks to thinks like Ozempic, Wegovy and seemingly most celebrities losing a huge amount of weight quickly, tiktok has made it really easy for people to fall into bad patterns, but everything is under the veil of "health" so it's ok right? RIGHT?
