I think this is in the "everything's relative" bracket. Like kids being bullied over being overweight - my middle and high school had that here and there, but honestly, I knew popular kids - a cheerleader, even - who were overweight. However, that was my experience as someone who wasn't overweight myself, so I never had to worry about being judged for it. Perhaps I was so wrapped up in the things I was rejected and teased for, I never noticed what other kids were rejected and teased for. Maybe they'd say "uh, I knew kids who had learning disabilities and were still popular!" And actually, they'd be 100% right about that.

I do think that we have to be careful about differentiating between body shaming and promoting healthy habits, but that goes both ways. Just because someone's thin doesn't mean they're anorexic; just because someone's heavy doesn't mean they eat too much. At the same time, my young nephew is severely overweight, and her parents accuse anyone who points that out of fat shaming. (Not in those words, but same thing.) No, we're legitimately concerned for his health. And it is because he eats too much; I've seen it for myself.
