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

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.
