Are health magazines too intimidating?

The wonderful world of political correctness is now going after women’s bodies. Women’s Health Magazine is banning “body shaming phrases” from it’s covers.
Won’t this get a lot of love on “The View”?

Phrases like “How To Get A Bikini Body” and “How to Lose 10 pounds Fast” and “The Diet You’re Really Looking For” are being criticized for being intimidating. Excuse me, isn’t their market made of women who would love to do those thing? I know as a man who used to subscribe to Men’s Heath, I was always interested in how to improve my appearance.

I don’t find those phrases intimidating at all. I think everyone has their own idea of what they’d like to look like and if that means a bikini body or a way to lose ten pounds fast, so be it. Let’s see if sales improve under the new system.

Time will tell if the new "less intimidating" headlines will work. How do you feel? Do you find heath magazine headlines too intimidating? Has any of their advice ever worked for you?
