Fat acceptance is a health crisis in the USA. Between our aging population and the steep increase in obesity our health care prices are skyrocketing. In 1985 not 1 state had 15% obesity, now not 1 state has less than 20% obesity.

Everyone should feel comfortable with who they are, but they should feel a responsibility to their health as well. I’m giving up over 3000 of my dollars annually, as is the average American to fit the bill for people that don’t have the respect for themselves to take care of their health. We have movements like “Healthy at any size”, that’s a f’n lie. Beautiful at any size, intelligent at any size, hard working at any size are all possible. But healthy at any size is a lie that hurts and even kills people.

You’re right, fat shaming is wrong. But fat acceptance does far more damage, it’s killing, and killing at an ever increasing rate.
