Often nowadays when someone says something is 'offensive' it's just another way of saying 'a truth I find uncomfortable'.

Well, we should shame them until they change, yes.

I don't see why we aren't just putting non-vegans in political prisons.

...on a serious note ...you should know as well as anyone that shaming people in order to change them is cruelty .

I think we just need forced re-education programs and to utilize aversion therapy. I'm sure PETA has something in the works.

We shouldn't shame people for being overweight any more than we should shame people for eating meat, excessive drinking, smoking, bad dental, etc. Doesn't seem like it's our buisness how they choose to live.

Only thing I can see people having a problem with is when the media/public tries to portray being overweight as a positive thing. If OP is worried about appearances, at the end of the day, people will still be more attracted to the fit/healthy person regardless of what the media does.

Meat is murder, so those who eat meat are violent criminals. We could definitely force them into labor camps, they could farm land, plant trees etc, provide society with the fuel we need to survive, THE RIGHT WAY.

Gulags are making a comeback!

I agree!

Eating meat is punishable by the very sin of its nature. Recourse will manifest in the guilty being fed to other animals, like tigers.

Handcuffs/Sakuraba 2016! Write-in candidates!

I think a lot of the time it's more about trying to be inclusive and realistic

Many professional models/actresses/etc live a very unhealthy lifestyle and their body fat is way too low which has short and long term negative effects that are not always shown on the outside like fat is.

and then there is all the mental and emotional damage involved

So many people are unhealthy for so many different reasons and the "they cost me money" nonsense is just a shield they use to do what they want to do

Which is cherry picking society and people based on their biases then shit on them to try to patch their own misery
