Because we all have vices.
Should we accept them openly and be proud of having vices? No.
Should we be tolerant of other people's vices? Yes.
Basically: having vices is bad, having vices doesn't make you bad. Vices should not be a source of pride.
I would agree that the HAES movement does get at something that needs fixing: America dehumanizes people. It's hard to explain, but having lived in other countries, I can say there is a dehumanizing element here against those that are deemed less (druggies, ex-cons... and to a lesser extent those who are overweight)
