There is a movement though, the healthy at every size bull####. While Amy's not necessarily a proponent of the movement, there is a huge overlap of her audience and the idiots who subscribe to the healthy at every size stuff. Unfortunately (or probably more fortunately) for her, as one of the bigger new actresses she's got a following of people who are just happy to see "non-ideal" body types in entertainment. That's not to say she herself is overweight, I think she's on the upper-end of healthy weight, but she's overweight by Hollywood standards.
As for what's wrong with being proud of your body? Well the health risks associated with being fat, see this timely article released today by Global News:

Nothing to be proud about in that statistic.
