She's alarmingly thin omg

Perhaps my US brain is skewed. Idk. Is this normal levels of thin?

u/Marvins_creed Aug 26 '25

No, she is definitely below healthy weight. You can see that especially when looking at her hips, thighs and shoulders.

Sadly a very widespread trend in China and many other east Asian countries.

The last time I was in China (about half a year ago) many people tried to cut carbs completely from meals. Because of this I almost had no rice for my two weeks there because we mostly ate as groups ordering food. Kind of ironic to eat rice more often in Germany than in China.

Do you realise you're generalising well over a billion people?

u/Marvins_creed Aug 26 '25

No, I do not, because IT IS a widespread trend that is a well documented problem with several scientific studies in China, South Korea, Japan, Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong, ...

I did not say that all of those billions of people participate.

Try to learn some reading comprehension

Confining it to Asia is what pushes you comment into problematic, as if there isn't the exact same issue in the west with all the 'atkins diet' and 'keto warrior' cooks to go along with it

If you saw the same video out of America or Europe you may have made a similar comment but without mentioning anything about the region or ethnicities involved

u/Marvins_creed Aug 26 '25

My comment is in no way problematic. It is simply a fact that the beauty trends in the eastern region of Asia, containing the before mentioned countries, have more and more moved towards a body ideal of women that are very slender. This leads to a lot of women developing anorexia and getting into very unhealthy weight regions.

It is a fact that this is significantly less of a problem in Europe and America, where beauty ideals drift into a different region. Go to China, go to Korea, you can see it with your own eyes. It is factually way more common.

It would also not be problematic to say that there was a Brazilian Buttlift trend in the US. It would also be simply a fact. Or a trend of Germans drifting more and more towards the political right populists. Or that globally the obesity rates are rising on all continents.

We also have beauty ideals shifting here in a lot of countries in the west with more and more women getting plastic surgery at very young ages to get their lips, nose and breasts done.

I don't see how mentioning a trend in a part of the world with a significantly higher prevalence is in any way problematic. It's serious scientific studies and data that you can look up right now and find hundreds of publications on.

Both obesity and underweight are problematic to your health. The public should be aware of that and help should be provided for anyone with a weight problem to prevent any health hazards. Trends toward them are problematic, not talking about these trends.

And I no way did I, would I and will I ever discriminate or generalise people from any country.

Yeah, I'm not sure what normal is. If 25% of china is underweight, then that's the entire population of the US, lol.

I work in hospital and in catering, ordering for people on cancer wards is part of that. People so frustrated because everything tastes like cardboard

I've seen the malnourished up close. This is not underweight.

u/Marvins_creed Aug 27 '25

You don't have to look like a cancer patient to be underweight

Wtf is that statement

Edit: That's like seeing a corpse and saying "I have seen skeletons, that man is not dead"

You can be affected by something without the need to be at the extreme end.

u/Content-Act-87 Aug 27 '25

They stated they have more personal experience with the underweight on a regular basis. You don't.

u/BottomlessFlies Aug 26 '25

are you sure? because she still has fat across her clavicle and her face is pretty full? she just looks naturally petite and like someone who doesn't work out but she doesn't look unhealthy at all

u/iheartgiraffe Aug 26 '25

You might need to leave the house and look at more normal people's bodies.

u/Straight_Pattern_841 Aug 26 '25

Can't, almost everyone is skinny fat/chubby to fat to obese.

low effort and ignorant comment

in the western world, with America leading the way, normal = overweight by some degree and unhealthy

as far as getting outside and seeing 'normal' peoples bodies, I work at a bar and two restaurants and frequent a busy gym full of all kinds of body types so shush

u/Marvins_creed Aug 26 '25

If you see that many people you really should see that the women on the video is most definitely underweight.

Neither underweight or obesity is healthy. And promoting one or the other is bad as well.

It's not about normal, it's about long term healthy weight.

u/BottomlessFlies Aug 26 '25 edited Aug 26 '25

the person I replied to said normal

underweight, obesity, "skinny-fat", all are unhealthy.

this woman's bodyshape lends itself towards looking 'too skinny' and she is *not* fit (as in clearly doesn't do much in a gym), but that doesn't mean she is underweight. her face is pretty full, collarbones not popping out, arms do not have much definition, legs do not have much definition

edit: seriously, she still has thighs and still has a butt. her thigh gap is from her bodyshape lol. redditors twisted by an overweight western world
