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

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

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.

No, this isn't what people are criticising. We are criticising the 'acceptance' of morbid obesity as a healthy way to live rather than a serious health condition which needs treating to save lives.

Except that is a strawman: that anyone is celebrating morbid obesity as a fantastic way to live. And people use that strawman to put down fat people.

Have you not seen fat activism? Morbidly obese models? Body positivity about bodies which are in imminent danger of dying? Perhaps you are not fat & don't get people telling you you are beautiful just as you are & should accept yourself and enjoy life without guilt or worry?
