You teach your kids to be healthy and eat right and take care of their bodies. This is a health thing. You talk about it at the dinner table, in the garden, or on a family hike. You talk about how you treat you body and how it affects your health. Don't mention pretty in these talks. It's about health and prettiness is irrelevant to health.

Even so, It's not wise to make assumptions about one's health based purely on the fact they are a few kg overweight - Even if someone has an unhealthy habit, that doesn't make them fully unhealthy if they compensate with other healthy habits - Most people will have one or two slightly unhealthy habit and if we always put our health as a priority we'd end up not enjoying life. A good example is spending too much time in front of the computer, it's certainly not good for anyone, but so many people do it, specially the young. Few people would celebrate being fat, but that doesn't mean someone's value will be determined by the fact they are fat.

On a sidenote - Why do people care so much about making value judgements about other people's health? If no one is forcing you unhealthy or undesired lifestyle choices, it's not your problem how fat your neighbour is or how many cigarettes he/she smokes, or even if he/she likes doing drugs once in a while, that's a personal choice, and I'm sure that with so many people engaging in unhealthy habits there will always be someone who feels attracted to anyone
