Obesity is a major health risk. It's a fact. It needs to be recognized as the threat it is, for the sake of the person's wellbeing. However I think fat shaming is really, really low.
I'm all for accepting oneself and positive body image, I think it's fucking awesome that awareness is being raised on it. BUT with the caveat that it is a healthy body image of a healthy body. The last thing I want is to make obese people feel like shit for their weight, but let's not kid ourselves, it's a major health risk. It's not that it's just another shape of your body (referencing unhealthy obesity here specifically, not slightly overweight people), it's endangering your health and possibly your life. So yes, positive body image....But do recognize the health issue.
