The fat shaming in the comments is vile - that’s why I added the disclaimer that I am not on side with bullies like that.  These debates are always difficult because I do not want to place myself in a camp with people who believe that being cruel to people will improve their health. 
But the image itself is what I’m talking about - that’s a very clear statement to me that is telling people it’s healthy to be very overweight.  I’ve seen people share that image both disagreeing with the premise and celebrating the idea that it’s not unhealthy to be very overweight.

Maybe to change your view in a different way - "The US" gave up on obesity a while ago, this stuff didn't stick the fork in it. Policies that continue to create food deserts, defund school lunch programs and health education, and commodify exercise in trade for driving everywhere all do way more for "the US" as an entity to ignore another one of our epidemics.  
Anything body positivity from a social standpoint is just normal folks trying to cope with the situation in one way or another. >

It is not "healthy at any size". It is "Health at every size".
And all it means is there are things people can do to develop healthy habits no matter what size they are. 
It also takes the focus away from weight loss as the goal to developing long term healthful habits as the goal.
That's all. It's not saying it's healthy to be morbidly obese. >

You’re right about that, there is a health at any size movement and I agree with it’s premise, but I’ve seen “healthy at any size” as much as I’ve seen “health at any size”.  They’re of course very different ideas. 
I don’t know if lots of people on the internet have just misunderstood it and think the movement is about saying it’s healthy to be 300lbs, but I’ve seen plenty of people saying exactly that. >

I'm curious, can you show there actually IS a movement "healthy at any size"? 
Because people saying that on the Internet means nothing in regards to if there's an actual movement. 
Personally what I see is those who don't approve of the movement claiming that based on their misunderstanding that but I haven't seen people actually in the movement claiming that. >

I’m referring to things like this. I don’t know who that Twitter account is btw but was looking for that image. >

Wow, what are you talking about specifically? 
Because I just see fat people being bashed?
