Review of Dietland

Dietland (2018)
2/10
Dangerous nonsense
19 August 2018
The acting is great. BUT, when a popular TV series tries to sell the idea that being morbidly obese is OK, then this series is dangerous. This is far beyond not conforming to "beauty standards" - we are not taking about a few extra pounds, we are talking about a medical condition here. "Loving yourself" is great advice for all, but exactly because you should love yourself, and you only have one body, letting this body be in a diseased state because it perhaps feels good while you are still young, is wrong. Love yourself, take care of your body and ignore what anyone else thinks - and that includes both "beauty trend setters" and "obesity acceptance" manifestos...
