The introduction of body shaming media vs. actually improving obesity rates is pretty poorly correlated. Introducing anorexia, bulimia, and now bigorexia to a population is probably neutral or net negative.

If it wasn’t, you would have expected those rates to decline after the introduction of media informing people.

One out of 190+ countries would be a poor correlation indeed.
