Strong Words.

Individual health is not a body size, is not completely within our control, is not a barometer of worthiness, is not up for public discussion, and can be a moving target. It does a disservice to fat people by giving them the idea that the only way to be healthy is to become thin, and does a disservice to thin people by giving them the idea that they are healthy simply because of their weight, neither of which is true based on the evidence. The theme here should be pretty clear – you can’t make assumptions about people based on their size. The only thing that someone can tell from someone’s body size is what size they are, and what their prejudices and preconceived notions about people that size are.
