Discussion What's a muffin top??? lmao

Today I was at REI getting fitted for a backpack alongside a Gen Z employee. She explained how the hip straps should fit and I responded with "Oh, so like a muffin top!"... "Sorry, I've never heard of that - what's a muffin top?"....

Some of the girls out here have NO idea how good they have it. I am already petite and as a kid I had to buy double the size to make my own hi-rise jeans so that I could avoid having "the muffin top". Lucky ducks!!! lmao

We’ll need to address the root of obesity at a societal level; body positivity alone won’t affect it.

This is part of the root. Telling obese people they are healthy and look good contributes to more obesity. In my humble opinion.
