Harmful for the same reason as the 'healthy at any size' campaign, and anti progressive because if they claim health at every size, then they deny there's a huge malnutrition problem in America. It would be solving the problem of food deserts and obesity by just saying 'no no these people are actually healthy' instead of making sure they don't live in a fucking food desert.

    Hate against fat people and some body types is an actual societal problem, in multiple ways.

    But then these people make claims like "fatphobia kills more people than fatness itself" or "[...] black, poor, disabled, and especially fat bodies are deemed as 'unhealthy'". They are also obviously anti scientific. I would quote more, there are really bad takes on almost every page of that post, but they can't be copy pasted.

    I think the problem for them is, ironically, internalized fatbhobia causing them to way overcorrect.

        So you are saying that the people I knew who died of sleep apnea just happened to die and then the doctors lied to us? That the people who have mobility problems in their older age have them completely unrelated to their weight?
