variations in susceptibility to obesity is not the same thing as being destined to be fat because of fat genes

this isn't about shaming all fat people and i honestly don't get how shaming people for overeating would be connected to shaming people for being mentally challenged
this is about combating the movement that seeks to claim obesity as normal and healthy, a demographic of professional victims who do not want to be held accountable for what they've done to their body and cry bullying when doctors tell them they need to lose weight

When did this happen on a large scale or with the support of a movement?

Is the last a common occurrence or good example? In most cases a doctors medical advice is sought out and paid for. This is very different from the typical unwelcomed fat shamming.

Also could have titled topic better, seems a lot of ppl in this thread are against fat promoting and stop short of fat shamming.

i don't know how large it is but the topic of fat shaming as a whole has only become a noticeable topic in the last few years and medical fat shaming was part of that

and you're right about the title
