Lizzo on 'South Park' using her as inspiration for 'The End of Obesity' episode
'South Park', an animated television series, created 'The End of Obesity' episode where they used Lizzo as an inspiration for loving your body despite constant body shaming from social media.
For many years, Lizzo has had to deal with body-shaming from social media users.
However, she recently took a stand to address the bullies and has been encouraging those who struggle with weight issues to love their bodies.
Her body positivity talks have caused her to be used in 'South Park', an animated television series, in an episode about obesity.
Lizzo took to Instagram to share the video from the series.
In the video, the characters are talking about Ozempic, a medicine for adults with type 2 diabetes that is now popularly being used for weight loss.
The characters discourage the use of the drug and promote using the 'Lizzo' obesity 'drug'.
They promote the 'Lizzo drug' for the following benefits:
- It makes patients feel good about their weight.
- It costs less than other weight loss drugs.
- It helps those who are struggling with weight issues to lower their standards and expectations.
- A case study about the 'drug' revealed that 70% of obese patients who use the drug no longer care about weight.
- Patients can eat anything they want.
- They don't have to exercise a lot.

In a separate post, Lizzo spoke about how she has recently been battling depression.
She said she is now in a happy place and glad she could smile.
"I’m the happiest I’ve been in 10 months. The strange thing about depression is you don’t know you’re in it until you’re out of it. I’m definitely not all the way as carefree as I used to be.. But the dark cloud that followed me every day is finally clearing up. My smile reaches my eyes again and that’s a win. I thought my album was finished.. but I gotta get some of these good vibes off in a banger real quick. Thanks for your patience," she wrote on Instagram.
