To be fair to Lopez, she did attempt to lose weight, dropping over 400 pounds in a year.
But, going from 800 pounds to 400 pounds is still not enough to prevent the myriad of health problems associated with obesity. Undoubtedly, body positivity proponents will try to gloss over her cause of death, but the fact remains that health and weight are indelibly intertwined.
She was 800 pounds. Eight. Hundred. POUNDS. She lost 400 pounds (twice my current weight, by the way) and still weighed 400 pounds. This is absolute insanity. Suggesting that this is in any way a healthy lifestyle is tantamount to accessory to murder.
