I hid the majority of their grossness with the article. You're welcome.

It's because of posts like this why we sometimes refer to HuffPo as "HuffPoop." We apologize for the obvious scatological moniker, but sometimes the simplest insult is the most appropriate. Though maybe we should update it to "HuffPuke." Especially considering their most recent foray into making you upchuck your breakfast. It probably tasted better going down than coming back up...

A Canadian newspaper wanted to health shame, gym shame people who make New Year's resolutions to be fitter and more healthy. So naturally HuffPo had a meeting. There they decided to blind the public by publishing a photo spread of people who should never take their shirts off in public. Maybe not even in private. HuffPoop thinks this is just the cat's pajamas...

“We felt that the first week of January is so oversaturated with messages about how dieting is the key to happiness,” Tanja Tiziana, the photographer who snapped the issue’s gorgeous shots, told The Huffington Post. “Everyone is suddenly on this social pressure to lose weight or change themselves in order to be ‘better.’ But most people fail because these resolutions aren’t founded in love or acceptance of their life, body, age and personal challenges. We’re just pushed to compare ourselves to some airbrushed model in a magazine.”

First...

Also sorry, but changing your eating habits so you treat your body as "a temple" and not a garbage can is the key to health. I personally am unaware of anyone who says "I don't want to be healthy, I just want to be happy." I don't doubt such idiots exist, but they're not exactly climbing mountains, running marathons, or even standing for more than ten minutes as they wait in a line at a grocery store. They're certainly not posing for that motivational poster in your cubicle. You know why? Because as it turns out, having a healthy body actually makes people happy. Because they feel good yes, but also because they're not lethargic sloths who celebrate gluttony with bypass surgery.

HuffPo not only tried passing this photoshoot off as "rebellious" somehow, but they also grossly misused the term "gorgeous." These photos are as gorgeous as a porcupine makes for a cuddly nighttime companion. The same can be said for Amy Schumer. If what these photos represent is the new definition of "gorgeous" I'd hate to think what qualifies for ugly. No, HuffPo, that's not a challenge to which you should rise. I'm sure you could wow me with your knowledge of all things vomit-inducing.

Thirdly, people fail at their resolutions because of laziness and a lack of willpower, not because they're filled with self-loathing. By the way, if a person is filled with self-loathing because they look less like a healthy example from the species Homo sapien and more resemble a deep sea-dwelling blobfish, why shame them to accept their fugly forms?

Yes, I used the word "fugly." I make no apologies.

If anything, a photo spread like this? It should drive people to the gym, and inspire them to drop the chalupa. So maybe it's a barf-blessing in disguise. A sick disguise, sure, but still. Whatever inspires people to get healthy...
