    I fully support accepting people in need. I don’t support accepting the condition itself. Fat acceptance has been doing that. Being fat is being in suffer. Fat acceptance is just fueling the denial. I do not endorse any type of body shaming. That’s totally different from criticizing fat acceptance.

      Perfectly stated. There is a big difference between shaming someone that is significantly overweight vs. coming out and saying that it doesn’t affect your health. The few people I know that are in the obese category will outright tell you that they don’t want to be overweight. But they struggle with it just like someone sincerely wanting to stop smoking.
