Lets Not Be Amazed that Multimillionaire Adele Can Lose Weight – CCN.com

May 13th, 2020

OMG! Adele has lost weight! Wow! I mean, Adele is a multimillionaire with lots of leisure time on her hands. So its almost unbelievable that someone in her unfortunate position could shed some pounds. She deserves a medal, or perhaps some more platinum certificates and Grammy awards.

Seriously, its ridiculous that millions of people are excited by a mega-rich celebrity losing weight. They see one photo on Instagram of a member of the global elite with a svelte figure, and they quickly fall in line with excessive praise.

Yeah, I know: Adele went through a painful divorce. Big whoop: pretty much every person on the planet has been through a trauma of one kind or another. But Adele is rich beyond 99.9% of the global populations wildest dreams, so wed be stupid to think that her dramatic makeover proves we can all do the same.

In case you missed it, Adele posted a photo on Instagram today. Intended to mark her 32nd birthday, it revealed that shes lost some weight. Not only that, but it also revealed a dramatic change in style.

So far, so ordinary. But much of the internet responded to this modest post by going mental. Seriously, people lost their marbles. It was as if no one had ever lost weight in the history of human civilization before, least of all multimillionaire celebrities.

A large number of very easily impressed people also commented on how Adele has remodelled her image. Again, its absolutely (not) unbelievable that the second richest musician in the U.K. worth 150 million (c. $185.5 million) can find the time and money to buy some new clothes and makeup.

Really, is it that the coronavirus pandemic has left us with nothing genuinely worth getting excited about?

Or is it simply that social media encourages people to jump on the bandwagon of lowest-common-denominator trends, so as to increase their likes and follower counts?

Regardless, there is nothing interesting or remarkable about someone like Adele losing weight or changing their image. Nothing.

Sure, some people might reply, But Adeles weight loss-makeover serves as inspirational proof of how we can all lose weight and look great.

People who think such a thing are gravely mistaken. Yes, Adele lost weight and changed her look. But this has very little relevance to most people on Earth.

Most people on Earth do not sit on a fortune of $185 million. When looking at developed countries, obesity is more common among the poor. In the U.S., studies have found that poorer people are less able to lose weight.

In other words, getting excited about Adele because shes an example to us all is deluded. Shes an example to some, but many others will lack the resources of time, money and education to ever lose weight or make themselves over. To think otherwise is to hide from reality.

Indeed, the adulation weve bestowed on Adele today serves to blind us from reality. Our hoisting of Adele onto an everywoman pedestal hides inequality. It obscures the fact that Adele and others like her benefit from great wealth, while many of us suffer from the lack of it.

Yes, Adele was in a toxic relationship. But shes much more capable of bouncing back from it than the rest of us. For many women, divorce isnt even an option.

So again, excuse me if I dont get excited about a celebrity. We should all be more interested in reality.
