Healthwise, there absolutely is. Anyone who denies that may be in denial of many other things.
Conflating judgements about personality with a health problem, that's at least partly due to bad habits, is a bad habit...
There's nothing wrong with saying that there's something wrong with being fat, it's not a criticism of someone's personality, but it is a criticism of their habits and choices.
I agree.

Its a tricky situation because I believe in promoting self confidence and being proud about one's self, but parading a very fat person promotes unhealthy eating habits, so does parading stick-like figures.

I suppose acceptance, tolerance and discretion must come into play.
Yes, I agree..
The thing is that by promoting stick figure models on the runway and in the media, this is also more of an issue imo. Refer to the articles I've already linked on this thread.
There needs to be more healthy models, and I'm not talking about obese, but people that have curves and are healthy (size 10 12, 14).
Remember when Marilyn Monroe was hot? Well she was a size 12.
