For the love of fuck, it's like arguing with the religious.
This is not a hard concept to grasp.
I never said it "was my job". Keep misinterpreting.
All I've done is contend what you said.
Have you forgotten the bullshit you spouted already?

It absolutely is okay to talk about the bodies of other people. What you are saying here is that it's wrong for 'people' to acknowledge the issues other people have with their bodies. This is basically burying your head in the sand. This seems really god damn conducive doesn't it?
Nobody here said we should go out fat shaming, like you seem to want to insinuate though. But carry on with the bullshit.
Are you capable of having a conversation with someone you disagree with without insinuating I am stupid? I am insinuating nothing of the sort. I am not talking about shaming someone for being fat. I am talking about telling someone they are fat, and how to fix it. Is that not what this conversation is about?
As the owner of a body, I think it is absolutely NOT okay for other people to talk about my body condition. That is a consideration I pass on to other people by not commenting on their weight. The only thing that accomplishes (from my own firsthand experience) is that I think they are overstepping boundaries at best, and are a dickhead at worst.
Is this my responsibility to inform people that they are overweight then? Is it burying my head in the sand to fail to acknowledge that someone is overweight? Is that what you are saying?
Please call me stupid if that's not what you are saying though.
If The Flintstones have taught us anything, it's that pelicans can be used to mix cement.
