So, now, media outlets report that being overweight is perfectly ok because this sells their newspapers, radio programs and TV programs more. Pathetic.

You start seeing reports that have a mixed message. Once you read so many of such messages, you get confused. Eventually, you start seeing reports saying that being overweight is perfectly ok.
