There's a vast difference between promoting "big overweight is cool, all the cool kids do it, you'll get a better job, attract more mates, and be better than your peers if you do it" and saying "weight is only one aspect of life, you can still wear nice clothes, have friends, be productive, be healthy, have lots of good qualities, and not be subject to abuse because you are overweight".

Having fat people alive enables the spread of the epidemic, why not kill them then, should be able to live with that. Heck it's bad food that enables the epidemic, why aren't you advocating strict regulations on sugar, salt, and fat content in food?

The cause of the epidemic has nothing to do with "Normalization", so it's just a big red herring, made up to fit what you want based on your own... ideology I guess. Unless you can support with evidence that societies where being overweight is less/more acceptable results in less/more overweight people.
