What are your thoughts on fat acceptance?

Someone mentioned mental illness, along with other health conditions, and that it would only result in so much weight gain. I have to point out that is not true. Obesity can be a direct result of mental illness. Hugely obese people aren't paragons of mental health. If you go ahead and tie lack of access to good health care in with the other problems leading to obesity, you've got the U.S. in a nutshell.
