My understanding is there exist people who have something legitimately wrong with them beyond just liking cookies. So they’re fat through no real fault of their own. I’m sure this is a vanishingly small minority of people, but we have a strong history of making decisions about behavior based on relative outliers.
Your comment doesn’t seem like good faith, but I hope there’ll be people replying in good faith that explain this better.

"Fat shaming" is discouraged not because it's a protected class or because a minority have an actual medical problem, it's discouraged because for most people it's counterproductive. For example, going to comfort foods to feel better in the short term, so they just end up gaining more weight.
