Where do you draw the line between legitimate fat acceptance and science denialism?

I'm sorry. I originally read this as "as physically attractive as non-fat people."

And, unless an overweight person is eating enough calories to make up for their physical activity, no. Chances are, an overweight person is not as physically active as a thin person.

To be fair though, I know plenty of hefty guys who work in construction, or work physically demanding factory jobs or something else. Those guys I remember from my physical labor days would also get McDonalds for lunch and Taco Bell for dinner, or some other combination of fast food, at least once or twice a day. So, sure, you can be fat and physically active. But if you're eating more calories than you're burning, it doesn't matter how "active" you are.
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
