A Case of the Skinny And The Fat: Body Shaming

In The Fishbowl with Jade, we're diving headfirst into one of society's most persistent double standards: body shaming.Too skinny. Too big. Too curvy. Too thin. It seems no matter what someone looks like, somebody always has an opinion. But when did other people's bodies become public discussion?We're exploring how beauty standards have shifted over the decades and why society continues to place unrealistic expectations on people of every shape and size. From childhood bullying and social media criticism to changing trends and cultural perceptions, we're examining why features once mocked are now celebrated, monetized, and even surgically recreated. This conversation isn't about choosing sides between skinny and full-figured. It's about understanding why society often tells people they're not enough, while constantly changing the rules.
