The media need to stop pushing “fat acceptance” and the idea that being obese is healthy too, for a start. Being fat is never healthy, and is one of the biggest drains on our health system.

Sustainable healthy eating is not cheap. Eating like a poor vegetarian isn’t sustainable or healthy.

The trick is that shaming fat people doesn’t help anyone. It’s more likely to cause a fat person to end up eating more because it’s emotional eating, than it is to actually be the cause of them finally getting in shape.
I don’t think the most extreme forms of “big is beautiful” are great. But fat acceptance in the form of “you shouldn’t be made to feel shame for being overweight” is a necessary harm reduction strategy.
