The fact that fats see fat as part of their cultural and self identity   FA blogs talk about how "getting rid of fat" and "war on obesity" means you want to genocide them.     speaks volumes to how far we've fallen as a society.  For context, I've never heard or read smokers, alcoholics or drug addicts ever make the comparison FAs make.   Eating excess calories gets privileged in ways we never privilege other addictions and methods of self-harm.
