Really should be a legal requirement for a normal BMI to appear in media, then they wouldn’t be able load up on steroids

BMI is not a measure of health. It is a statistical tool.

To further illustrate your point, most of the men pictured are likely 'obese' by BMI standards

Yes, welcome to the conversation

We aren’t talking about the health of these moviestars on roids, we are talking about the effects they have on viewers’ self image

But that would also eliminate all obese people from the media. Which is like 30%+ of the population.

That would be a side benefit of an otherwise bad idea.

Whichever way you skew it, unrealistic bodies shouldn’t be there
