Body Positivity Or Promoting Obesity?

Hi guys,

So there has been A LOT of talk about body image for the past couple years. Many have tried to promote body positivity, a memorable example would be the song “All About the Bass”by Megan Trainor. But on every post, article or video attempting to show even a morsel of body positivity, whether its encouraging plus size women to wear bikini’s or urging more brands to have bigger sizes  available, there is also a counter argument.

History Present

Hey folks, there have been some interesting developments regarding the Clio app. For those who are unfamiliar, Clio is an app that connects users to historic locations. A user who may be in, or will soon visit, a given area can access entries that detail many of that area’s historic sites.
