You know what else is bad for health? Being obese.
Yes, people can be healthy at many sizes.. obese is not one of them. Fat acceptance is just as bad (if not worse) for public health as fat shaming. 

And I also want to point out that being flexible does not equate to being ‘healthy’.

And I would like to point out that health shaming is no better. Fat acceptance does not equal unhealthy lifestyle acceptance.

I think a lot of people are missing the point of this… It isn’t saying that being ‘fat’ is healthy-it’s saying that fat shaming leads to unhealthy habits and mind sets, and overall poor self perception. The idea is to stop bigotry, shaming, poor treatment and stereotyping when it comes to people of ALL sizes. Yes, the girl in the picture is overweight and this would quite possibly have a detrimental impact upon her health. That doesn’t mean she deserves to be shamed. Nobody is trying to make excuses for being fat here, the simple message is that people of all sizes deserve to be treated right, be mentally healthy and be seen as people rather than walking billboards for all that society so readily and wrongly damns as ‘unhealthy’ or ‘unattractive.’ Kids being healthy at all sizes starts with accepting them at all sizes and encouraging them to live healthy lives no matter what. A healthy weight is, for most, a natural consequence of a healthy lifestyle, and shaming overweight or underweight children is not the way to encourage this.

I agree 100% with what the person above me said.

There was an overweight woman in yoga class on Sunday and I’m not proud to say I was a bit judgemental. But she was really sweet and I thought hey, at least she’s trying. And that deserves admiration.
