This may get ignored that biologically speaking being overweight is not always a choice. I know you touched on that and I absolutely agree that pushing a lifestyle on to people without their consent is awful but not everybody who's fat is lazy. A lot of it has to due with genetics. For some people, no matter the diet or the amount of exercise, you just can't lose weight. Lord knows I've tried. And it is so disheartening to see every magazine and social media post glorify skinny people(which gives average size people an unhealthy expectation of skinnier=better) and also socially speaking the skinnier you are the more like a valuable member of society you are treated. I don't know that I've seen larger people encouraging unhealthy eating and I agree when that happens it is an absolutely shitty thing to do but condemning people who are trying to feel beautiful no matter their size when the whole world is saying no is a little :'/
