What are your thoughts on fat acceptance?

What about when someone lies about the science involved in weight gain? I mean, I don't care about someone's body, I care about the information that is put out there.

I kind of covered that, in a way. Science can be discussed and corrected without shaming people.

I think it's terrible to fat-shame people or to encourage the supermodel and extreme dieting as the norm. People should be able to feel comfortable in their own bodies no matter what because it is their body and not yours. It's not hurting you, so get over it.

However, this kind of generosity should not get in the way of talking about health concerns. Obesity obviously causes problems, and at some point there should be a public awareness of this. Just don't be an asshat about it.

If only the body positivity movement were only about not fat-shaming people. Then it would be no problem, I'd say 'I don't do that anyway, so no problem.' Of course that's not what it's about, they want to re-write the whole way we understand nutrition, and facts for that matter.
