Google 'average mannequin size'. The average female mannequin is underweight, not overweight. One study did a survey and found that 100% of the female mannequins they examined represented a clinically underweight woman.
Vanity sizing is a thing because female sizing completely arbitrary and stores want to make women feel better about their weight. If anything this is evidence that fat acceptance hasn't caught on--if it had, people wouldn't be ashamed to wear a larger size.
Regardless, I'll say it again--the fact that overweight people exist says nothing about the assertion that many people believe that being overweight is healthy.
