YES.  Note how the same people making a big deal about anorexia--and mistakenly insisting that media and barbie dolls, not things like a need for control and other exterior circumstances, cause anorexia--are very, very offended at the slightest mention that someone is overweight.    No concern whatsoever for the harm caused by obesity.  Encouraging young people to destroy their lives isn't going to disturb any FA's ability to sleep at night.  Remember the Tumblr post where a user was told the brown marks of acanthosis nigricans--a massive red flag for diabetes that should be seen by a doctor immediately--was just a normal body feature?    It's widespread in Anglosphere culture, and it's not just a left-wing or SJW thing.  My Bush-voting Baptist mother is the same way.     i swear, after i mentioned the word diet shit went down. All 3 of them tried to talk me out of this, saying i dont need to diet as I'm of normal weight and that i look fine and all that jazz. I had to explain to them that I'm not starving myself into aneroxia, but i'm just looking out for my calorie intake, that i know my stuff and everything is in a healthy frame (im a nutritionist).  You see why I don't tell fats around me that I'm currently on a cut to lower my BF% from 13 and have visible abs?
