In your opinion, what do you think about fat acceptance?

In my opinion, yes, we all have to respect everyone whether they are different and accept them for who they are. But, I don't like the idea of fat acceptance. People with overweight body is unhealthy, and that is a fact! They can live with many sicknesses due to their unhealthy body. And support them to stay in their body is a bad idea! Instead of judging them for their size, why don't we support them to become healthy? I mean become healthy is not about having a nice, fit body. It's about keeping balance in health and have a healthy lifestyle.

You can make smoking bad because it's an addiction, tell someone they need to stop eating and they knaw your arm off for the next meal

@Justafantasy Well, it seems like you don't get my point.

@SW-User I actually do, just like getting people to stop smoking for their own health we should be getting people to lose weight for their own health (same reason)

@Justafantasy Sadly, people nowadays see it as an offended opinion. They over-idealizing the idea of 'everyone is beautiful' and they use it to justify their offended feeling about their health.

@SW-User I tend to disagree, addictions are not beautiful, some (few) people do have valid medical reasons for weight gain.

@Justafantasy Sometimes, I wonder what is happen inside their head. Are they living in reality or expectation? Because all they know is mostly expectation. It's funny that they are too afraid to face the reality that they build up a wall to protect their true self. But they don't realize that their wall only makes them worse.
