Are “All Bodies Beautiful”?
Agree
+-
There are no objective beauty standards, so being beautiful is simply a personal opinion. If one thinks of themselves as beautiful, then they are.
+-
*you're. And also- It still applies. If you think of yourself as beautiful, then you are. It doesn't matter what other people think.
+-
There are objective beauty standards though. For instance, there is no place in the world where it is more beautiful to be obese than skinny.

What you say is true, but not in support of the pro side at all. It is exactly because beauty standards are subjective that the phrase "All Bodies are Beautiful" holds no truth, as not everyone thinks of their body as beautiful. This is an argument for the Con side . . .
+-
Yes and no. It's true that beauty standards are highly subjective (see tribes, feet kinks, etc). On the other hand you have theory of evolution that basically tells us that the most fit specimen, that is, the specimen that is able to adapt to their environmental changes (etc) thrives. Most creatures judge their partners by a certain standards (lively feathers, mane, skin etc) which usually are associated with good health and longevity. All of this to help maximize the likelihood of their offspring surviving.
Anything else about this meme is a pure and utter exercise in ignorance (maybe it's itself an exercise in survival).

NO just because you want to justify to yourself that your terrible eating habits are okay it’s not a n excuse. Get in shape and get off your ass.

Ok so if you are about to leave a comment for the pro side and you see this, please consider this question. If someone is 500 pounds, and they are on the verge of dying of a heart attack, can you tell that person with full honesty that their body is beautiful? If you cannot say that, than all bodies are not beautiful.
+-
All bodies are not beautiful. Yes, you can have subjective preferences. However even if someone likes fatties, would they like skinny equally? Preferences mean you prefer one over the other. Therefore some are always less desirable.
Easy to understand how this is a contradiction in terms. If people put half the work into taking care of themselves as they in linguistic gymnastics...
+-
Nope, it is just insane. How something be beautiful if you don't like it?
+-
All bodies are beautiful, except for the ugly ones. And that's on god.
+-
I think the slogan has some merit but is counterproductive. It is no secret that obesity correlates with a bevy of negative health outcomes, so by normalizing and even glorifying unhealthy bodies, you are hurting people more than helping them.
+-
No one is glorifying unhealthy bodies by encouraging people to view their own bodies with respect and love. Furthermore, the idea that only a certain body type can be unhealthy is extremely harmful and simply false. Eating disorders happen to a variety of body types. By degrading body types who don't conform to a certain standard, one often encourages unhealthy eating habits. Health concerns are real and valid, but self-hate is never helpful.

Whether or not someone is "beautiful" is a personal opinion, and people and cultures have different standards of beauty, therefore making it impossible for all bodies to be beautiful in everyone's opinion.
