Meanwhile, back in reality: "in five studies, the authors found that cues suggesting the acceptance of larger body types resulted in greater intended or actual consumption of food and a reduced motivation to engage in a healthier lifestyle."  "Fat-shaming makes people gain more weight" is disproven.     "She's trying to hurt you, you fat freak!" is accurate.   Just as accurate as it would be if it were fellow alcoholics trying to get you to keep drinking or fellow junkies trying to stop you from quitting drugs.
