It’s okay to shame smokers because they are hurting more than just themselves with second hand smoke. But it’s not okay to shame fat parents who let their kids get fat even tho that’s hurting others. The logical conclusion of what you’re asking for is absolving people of accountability for their poor life choices. People rightly and understandably vehemently disagree with this.

Shaming works. There's nothing wrong with doctors telling overweight patients to lose weight. Because it is unhealthy.

Shaming works.
Why is obesity becoming more common when every doctor tells people to lose weight then?

It's obviously people who like being ashamed! /s
Fat people are literally the only group where it’s just OK to make fun of them, in many circles.
Even for those who are overweight and unhealthy, berating and shaming someone is never going to be a way to help someone heal.
