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

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

Replying to @HPluckrose @Mikebrando2
Fat acceptance is the idea that fat people are part of the world and their mental health shouldn't be compromised due to people's reactions to their weight and they should be able to access things the same as everyone else -- including the things that will help them be healthier.

Okay, that’s what it is in theory. No one would be against that Many fat acceptance activists don’t argue for that, though. Some try to ban campaigns that make people aware of the links between obesity & cancer. Others promote unhealthy life choices & stigmatize weight loss

This is what fat activists do, yes.
