Re: We need more fat shaming

Yes, you can be on the heavy side of normal weight and have a body fat percentage that would make a person exceptionally hefty if they also had a large muscle mass. That's why there's quite a wide range of what's considered normal weight, as medical science does try to account for all natural body types, and we do realize that some people are naturally more prone to a body fat percentage nearer to 25 than one nearer to 10.
However, once you get to a certain extreme it doesn't really matter how you're eating if your caloric intake is enough to sustain overweight and sustain the stress that puts on your body. Even having a great diet isn't going to completely counteract the deleterious health effects of large amounts of excess body fat.
The idea of health at any size is a myth. Achieving a healthy lifestyle when you're obese or overweight either means you end up achieving a normal weight through that lifestyle, or your lifestyle is not actually healthy.
Now, I very much understand that people have all kinds of extenuating circumstances for which they might gain weight. Medications, genetic conditions, certain cancers, certain brain injuries or results of severe viral infection... I know that there are many scenarios where weight gain is not a choice but rather a symptom. And I also know that currently the odds are stacked against people when it comes to making healthy choices.
I am not blaming anyone for being overweight or obese. I am saying that health, however, really does come with a size limit. "Health at any size" should really be "health at any body type in a sustainable weight range".
