Jamie Lopez has died: all lifestyles are not equal

Jamie Lopez: born: Feb. 13, 1986 died: Dec. 19, 2022

Body positive influencer and obesity acceptance groundbreaker Jamie Lopez, who starred in We TV's "Super Sized Salon," has died on December 19. And while no details were released by her team other than she died of heart complications at the age of 37, it's safe to assume her life style played a large part.

Her heaviest weight reached 846 pounds and she had to remain confined in her bed while founding her company Babydoll Beauty Couture. The company celebrated obesity as body positive image, in spite of the health risks that morbid obesity poses. 

She referred to her obesity and that of other women as "beautiful," but she spent a year, prior to her untimely death, losing 400 pounds. Unfortunately, it was probably too late for her and likely was too much for her heart. I am speculating, but there is no doubt that morbid obesity contributes to myriad health concerns and Lopez may have finally admitted this to herself when she went on a strict diet. 

Her TV show never made it to the second season.

There is a group of people who support abortion, support assisted suicide and support fat acceptance. Many of these people believe that the world population needs to decrease in order to help the environment and this creates a sort of moribund mindset. Of course, these people have already been born and have no desire to personally help "the cause."

Note: Obesity is not beautiful and should not be advertised as such because it removes the impetus for people suffering from it to change their lifestyles. Jamie Lopez's death is really quite sad and we can only hope that other young people are not influenced by her glorification of her lifestyle.
