Yes, studies are coming out that fat acceptance just leads to at desensitization. People think just because they're not the fattest person they know, they're fine. And the fattest people think, "Well I'm not that much bigger so it's okay." Their perceptions become skewed. Unfortunately for them, health is not determined on a curve (muh curves). Someone may be the thinnest, or least fat, person in their group of friends but they're still 60 lbs. overweight and developing heart disease at age 20.
