When a user on Instagram searches #size0, they receive a "Content Advisory" pop-up. The pop-up states "Please be advised: These posts may contain graphic content. For information and support with eating disorders, visit http://help.instagram.com/252214974954612"

When a user searches #obesity, they are not presented with any Content Advisory warnings. Despite the inherent health risks associated with obesity, it has become a trend on the internet to glorify the aesthetic of being overweight.

As the Healthy At Every Size (HAES) movement rapidly grows, many of its most prominent faces and spokespeople are diagnostically morbidly obese. Graphic images are frequent and sexual in nature. Many of the posts glorifying obesity are Not-Suitable-for-Work (NSFW) in nature, and strive to sexualize overweight individuals.

We believe that every individual should be strive to be the healthiest version of themselves. Beauty comes in a variety of forms, but certain behaviours encourage unhealthy lifestyles. While "eating disorder," is a phrase typically associated with Anorexia and/or Bulimia Nervosa, over-eating disorders and binge-eating disorders carry similar health risks.

If the phrase "Size 0" is accompanied by a Content Advisory risk because of the assumed correlation between a person's waist size and an eating disorder, then Instagram needs to give similar warnings to common search terms like "#obesity, #fatacceptance, and other terms glorifying overweight lifestyles.

Obesity is a leading cause of death of millions of people across the world. Unhealthy lifestyles of any form should not be promoted through an application with millions of users.
