> I strongly oppose the notion that one can be healthy/fit at every size, and I don't view claims that overweight people should lose weight as intrinsically body-shaming, I agree. Society lacks nuance. Health outcomes worsen as weight increases, that's just physics. Joints get more strained and the body literally gets slipper during surgery with more fat. There's a weight/body composition spectrum where most people would be healthiest. At the same time, one shouldn't be shamed for being overweight just like we don't shame people for not drinking enough water or drinking alcohol (even though you could argue these are worse than being fat). The modern approach to safeguarding short-term emotions above everything else will come at the cost of other things like physical health, long-term mental health, etc.
