It means that size and health are not automatically linked. I mean, look at some of the Olympics weightlifting champions that have been in the news. They would be considered obese but if they're a freaking Olympic champion, I don't think you can say they're unhealthy!

In more day-to-day average person examples... I'm technically obese. I have my weight-related labs closely monitored because I have PCOS and a family history of diabetes. Everything comes back normal, great condition. Docs are constantly O.O because they expect my numbers to be shit. I have a ton of health issues and am disabled but they predated my weight gain. (And honestly, between family genetics of obesity, inability to exercise regularly due to pain disorder, plus pretty much all the meds to treat said pain disorder causing weight gain... yeah. Not a surprise and there are so many factors I can't do anything about it without making my life weight loss, and I'm not willing to do that, especially when it's not affecting my health.)

It's not really about all sizes being healthy, it's that you can't assume based on someone's size that they're unhealthy. This is actually a pretty dangerous attitude for doctors to have that results in a lot of patients receiving poor care, because docs see the weight and don't look further, even if weight has nothing to do with it.

According to BMI a LOT of people are overweight. Most MALE body builders and especially power lifters are over weight. Still most of the people that end up militant fat acceptance people are NOT people that work out, eat specially crafted diets, and avoid processed foods.

As for the everyday example I live with a man that would sooner eat nothing but steak and ice cream and he got bloodwork done and it came out ok and he was using that as an excuse with me as to why he shouldn't have to eat healthier. He doesn't seem to realize that I have to eat what he eats too. Because of his eating habits and him controlling the groceries I have gained 50 lbs. But that's OK you know. He's got good bloodwork.

Oh fuck helling! Can you eat out once in a while and eat small portions of steak and ice cream in the mean time? He might be ok now but it won't be ok when he's got high cholestral and narrowed arteries. You are not the same person as him GDI!

That's... not really an example against HAES though, that's an example of somebody being an asshat. Forcing anyone else to eat foods that are bad for them is just fucked up. :-\
