Ok look, I want to preface this by saying I am not saying this out of hate for anyone, but because I think your ignorance may cause actual harm to people.

it’s kind of obvious that this post is referring to the fat/body positivity movement. And yeah you know what, telling people to be unhealthy is bad. But no one actually does that. What people do, is tell fat or obese people that they shouldn’t feel like their bodies are inherently ugly (which by the way finding fat people ugly is rooted in actual racism) it’s telling them that despite what people have said, being obese is not a moral failing. Because you know what people do when they’re made to feel that way? TW EDS, SELF HARM! They starve and sometimes even hurt or kill themselves. They feel terrible. TW END. People don’t celebrate poor health. They celebrate that their bodies are beautiful and worthy of love. People are obese for a variety of reasons; mental health, genetics, disease, and yes, eating too much or not exercising enough. But none of those things mean anyone deserves to be shamed. So yeah. It is ok for people to be obese, because their health is their business, and no one should refrain from celebrating themselves or their bodies just because they are unhealthy.
