My views are kind of split on this subject. In one sense, obesity is linked to so many lifestyle diseases. There is no such thing as "healthy at any weight" and I think the movement is bullshit. Even if vitals are cf checking in normal now, they will not forever. Excess body weight creates a huge strain on the CNS, cardiovascular system, and the musculoskeletal system. However, by no means do obese or overweight individuals deserve to be treated sub-human. They deserve the same respect and love that anyone does. People can be physically attractive at varying sizes, but it does not mean they are healthy. Stay healthy and we retain beauty longer. It's a simple truth.
