>Obesity
Sadly, in the US, there're obese people who're strongly into nonsensical movements like HAES (Healthy At Every Size), fat positivity. They think being obese is good, healthy, and doing nothing to address is a great thing. If one so happens to tell them about the health risks due to obesity, they are termed as fatphobic.
