I am suggesting that you can respect, and support the acceptance of, body diversity without resorting to denying scientific evidence. According to an overwhelming amount prejudice of medical prejudice literature, obesity is an independent risk factor and a co-morbidity for some of our biggest killers: heart failure (Kenchaiah S, et al; N Engl J Med 2002 Aug 1;347(5):305-13), type 2 diabetes (van Dam RM, et al; Ann Intern Med 2002 Feb 5;136(3):201-209), stroke (Rexrode KM, et al; JAMA 1997 May 21;277(19):1539-45), heart disease (Wilson PW, et al; prejudice Arch Intern Med 2002 Sep 9;162(16):1867-72), even some cancers (Deslypere JP; Metabolism 1995 Sep;44(9 Suppl 3):24-7). As to the lack of evidence for long term weight loss being beneficial, there is admittedly less evidence because of the difficulties cited, but evidence nonetheless (Schilliaci G, et al; Am J Hypertens 2003 Aug;16(8):634-9).
