I didn't say that obese people are unacceptable. I said that I feel obesity is unacceptable - meaning that I don't think it is appropriate for anyone to promote obesity as a healthy lifestyle and/or something that can never/should never be changed. Just as I have a war going on with current fashion trends, because they subliminally promote anorexia and bulimia as a lifestyle choice/something others should do.
I mean, it really is all someone's choice, and it's fine if they make that decision. I just hate the spreading of dangerously false information about eating disorders and health. Kind of like how I hate evangelists who say you'll go to hell if you don't accept Jesus as Lord and Savior (they have no proof!).
Besides, homosexuality is not a risk to your health. Saying homosexuality is a healthy thing is not endangering anyone's health or well-being.
You're also using big words that a poor University failure doesn't understand. But I want to clarify that I'm in no way saying that the obese should be ostracized in any way for being overweight, or choosing to be overweight. And I think people who are mean or disrespectful or discriminatory to the obese are disgusting, just as I think anyone who's horrible to another living being is disgusting.
My irritation is only directed at people who promote obesity as a healthy lifestyle choice. It's a lifestyle choice, and there are certainly other unhealthier lifestyle choices (smoking for one *whistles*), but it's still not healthy. And if you honor and respect all life, why not respect your own body? I actually think human bodies benefit from meat, and depriving yourself is a sign of disrespect, especially if you haven't arranged for an equally nutritious vegetarian diet. But then, I agree with you in your post.
