The Cosmo cover reminds me of something.
My wife was a big fan of Gymshark clothes because of their cut and style and was buying regularly for a few years. Recently she complained that too many of the models are fat or out of shape and she can't get a real idea of how the clothes look. She's Japanese and very straight about her opinions (for better or worse!). She has also always made an effort to take care of herself, even after ten years of marriage to me
So for a lot of this, I think a lot of this comes down to marketing and making money. Yes, it started with trying to support those who are truly suffering, but it became something else.
Now the marketing agencies are targeting the overweight as there are far more of them. They have found a way to exploit their insecurities and use that to move more products.
