The data shows that as weight increases so does heart disease, T2 diabetes, etc; the ability to move physically also decreases (which also is not a pro-health condition).
Why would facts based on science-based data be called a stigma?
Short of a surviving a famine, I'm not seeing how excess weight is a positive. And if it's not a positive then of course we want less of it, just like we wanted less smokers.
