It has nothing to do with being shallow. There are a lot of attractive people that are over weight. And a lot of skinny people that are unattractive. I actually felt I looked better and younger at 250. And yes, the headline of the article was horrible, and an attempt at public shaming.
All of that though, doesn't change the fact we should be encouraging people to live healthy lifestyles and maintain a healthy weight and diet. Being obese is bad for you. Full stop. And if that scientific fact hurts anyone's feelings, that's just life. Sorry.
I full heartedly disagree with this movement of accept the skin your in as being the better way if that skin is housing a clinically obese individual. If you are putting yourself at massive risk for heart disease, diabetes, and a billion other ailments because as a result of accepting that mantra, then you are getting bad advice. It's no different in my eyes than smoking. Nobody has a problem criticizing smokers choices. The way they stink. The yellow teeth etc.... Yet you are off side if you tell someone to stop shoveling baconators down their gullet? It makes no sense to me why one form of criticism is ok, and he other isn't.
