      I agree & I believe in future we will see a shift away from the Eurocentric notion of trying to destigmatize obesity. Especially as obesity will create more health issues & China takes over the global economy. They have a different view on social stigma & are much healthier👍🏼🙃

      I find both your points of views horrifying and myopic.

      Half of my family has obesity related illnesses including diabetes & heart problems. What you should be offended about instead is a society ignoring an epidemic that kills millions of people including kids cos they don’t want to be considered rude. It’s backwards🙄🤦🏻‍♀️pic.twitter.com/3EunLaAqn6

      I'm not offended. And I believe that you can work towards the health of all people without being weight shaming dickwads.

      Silencing people talking about obesity & telling them they are “fat shaming” while also pushing ideas like “healthy at every size” & “fat acceptance” is clearly not helping to decrease the growing rate of obesity in the USA🤷🏻‍♀️

      But insulting people doesn't seem to work either. I wrote this about it.https://conatusnews.com/dangerous-problem-fatshaming-fatphobia/ …

      Fatphobia is when people believe that fat people aren't deserving of basic human decency. If you think that's okay, then I don't think you are a decent person.

          This is me. I am dangerously overweight and several of my organs don't work properly as a result of this. I would like to be treated with basic human decency but I can't support people claiming this is healthy. It helps me when people are encouraging & congratulate my weight losspic.twitter.com/59sc7GldbE

          Health & weight are two different things. If you are unhealthy and specific actions that also may lead to weight loss are suggested, go for them. The whole fat love is in response to society treating fat people like trash. Shaming people for their weight only harms, not helps.

          They are different but connected. I have several conditions caused by obesity. PCOS, pre-diabetes, painful knees, GERD, repeated UTIs. Obesity is one of the greatest causes of premature death & I have been warned that I am at high risk. Also very uncomfortable and limiting.

          I believe that people who truly care about societal health will spend their energy talking about making healthier foods available cheaper, making more public spaces that encourage exercise, increasing public transportation...

          Yes, of course. No-one is criticising people who do that. We're criticising fat activists who try to normalise dangerous levels of obesity & call it fatshaming and fatphobia to say this is unhealthy. They'd call you it for saying that abt healthy food & exercise. I quoted one.
