Contrary to the popular belief at lest a little body fat is healthier than absolutely none. (It helps insulate the body and a few other things)
There is two extremes and then there is the median area in between.
Also what classifies as a healthy weight can vary.
Sure the human body isnt made to keep up with highly excessive amounts that often is part and parcel with being obese (the extra weight can put strain on things and make some every day things harder) but even slightly chubby people get fat shamed and constantly told they need to loose weight and that they are simply eating themselves to death (which is not always the case) and that part in itself is taking one problem and going waaaay too far with it.
There is moderate concern for health of the general population and then there is fatphobia.
Fatphobia doesn't exist, no one is scared of fat people. I'm irritated by popular culture normalising unhealthy weights, and by the fat lazy people who actively promote it as a beautiful thing, it isn't beautiful at all. It's unhealthy, the scope of what is healthy is not that wide.
Being fat is not "okay" and telling people it is, is not only damaging to their own health, but its damaging to society as well since there is a clear link between obesity and a variety of negative health conditions. Society is becoming more and more crazy over time and this is just one example. Can you imagine humans from a few hundred years ago seeing some of the 600+ lb behemoths that exist today? I doubt they would even recognize them as human.
Extremely irritated at fat worship in pop culture.
