I do think thin privilege is probably a thing, just not to the extremes that certain activists like to take it. And "Healthy At Every Size" has a good idea at its core - it's okay to be naturally bigger and curvier, it's okay to be naturally skinny, you should find YOUR body's ideal healthy size - all of that. But it doesn't mean that obesity is healthy for anybody, and some people use body positivity as an excuse to not work on their health. Loving your body is a great message, especially for women, but if you love something you should also take good care of it in a way that makes you feel good.

On the OTHER hand, I don't think it's okay to talk shit about obese people either. People can be genuinely nasty about fat people in a way that they aren't about thin people, even unhealthily thin people. And if you're not a doctor or a very close trusted friend*, it's not your place to comment on their weight.

*I say this VERY cautiously, I don't think it's appropriate in 99% of cases. But if my best friend had an ED, I wouldn't be able to just ignore it, and I think the same would reasonably be true if they were morbidly obese.
