    A lot of people’s bodies just want to be larger than other people’s. This isn’t about willpower and education, it’s about recognizing diversity.

    Yes we make it worse with our decisions as a society, but some people are gonna be fatter regardless.

      There’s diversity in BUILDS of people. Some will be thicker than others but that doesn’t mean they’re obese. I’m obese and I suffer health effects from it and have been obese most of my life. This entire obesity acceptance thought is backwards. We should get rid of the stigma but it is not healthy.

        Yeah I’ve had health problems from being overweight too.

        Shaming me for being overweight never made a difference at all, and probably made things worse.
