"Such a shame that the "healthy at any size" BS is so popular these days. Literally killing people."
I don't wish ill health or discomfort on anyone but ones physical condition, appearance and personal health are one's own business.
Provided that you rise to a minimal standard of civic responsibility...
I owe it to you to be able to run for help. I owe it to you to be able to perform chest compressions for 3-5 minutes. I owe it to you to be able to carry or drag an adult a few hundred feet to safety. I owe it to you to be fit to join a group standing in physical defense of others.
If you can't do those things, you have something to answer for - regardless of the diet/fitness/health/appearance fads of the day.
