Its like the 'doctors' in the 50's and 60's that endorsed smoking. Just because someone you want to trust says exactly what you want to hear doesnt make it true. Being over weight is unhealthy and hard on your joints, etc ... too much fat has no redeeming features.

Fat acceptance is particularly hard on the poor, minorities, and other groups that are over represented in obesity.
