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.

What do you think?

I completely agree with you. I am fat but have lost nearly 50 lbs and won't stop trying to lose more weight. Unlike the Fat Acceptance movement which just victimizes fat people and coddles them to encourage them to potentially die at age 35, I at least am doing something about it. I don't sit around eating 50 donuts and then crying about being fat and being tired from doing basic human things such as walking upstairs or getting out of bed. I know I did it to myself and am working hard to correct the problem.
