Once upon a time, weight was a sign of wealth, and being well off / able to eat well was considered a desirable thing.

Now we live in excess of everything, we desire skinny. Kind of funny really lol.

On the one hand, I get it, there's a fundamental difference between mocking somebody for being fat, and suggesting they take up healthier habits for their own good IF they are capable of doing so. Some suffer from medical issues that influence weight gain, some just entertain bad habits.

Adding phobic to things works quite a bit nowadays, it carries such a negative connotation that if you're labeled as such, you're seen as a piece of shit which I don't agree with because it strips any potential nuance from your views on things.

There's being a dick, and there's caring about the health of others. How you go about talking to people about this sort of shit matters.
