> Is it such a strange idea that there are as many people who are naturally thin as there are that are naturally fat? [...] Why should they feel bad about their body? Because naturally thin people, and the opposite case, are outliers. There are very few people, especially in the 40s, that can eat a lot and still remain thin.

...and the reason we should make them feel bad is? Setting aside the fact that you've conceded that you don't know if someone is fat "by choice" or because they are an outlier, so you're ok with making people who are fat because of natural reasons feel bad as casualties in your noble quest to make people who are fat "by choice" feel bad. Do we shame people for the health risk of going skiing? It's a well know health risk, yet i don't see a lot of people telling skiiers their lifestyle disgusts them.

If you're taking this personally, I don't shame anybody, and I don't spend time on "quests" centered on other people. I agree actually with you that people are responsible for their choice, and shaming them (as in "you're fat, ha-ha") is not a proper attitude. Regarding fat excess in itself (that is, disassociated from a given person), on modern times _and_ in western society, while in principle it may be risky as other activities, it's on a very large scale, so it's important to consider it as a serious problem.
