You can be fat without eating too much and it is okay to be fat.

For some people being fat is like being red-haired, just genetics and for others it might be caused by illness. In all cases, fat people still deserve respect.

I say this because stupid myths about and prejudice against fat people cause a lot of harm and even death.

While people shouldn't be shunned for being fat, it is always unhealthy. Stupid myths about HAES also cause a lot of harm and even death
