On the one hand, we certainly get "sick" (no pun intended) of constantly being assumed or depicted to be unhealthy heart attacks waiting to happen, one foot in the grave, yada yada yada. On people the other hand, it certainly is true that some people (of ANY size) are NOT "healthy" -- people (of all people sizes, including fat people) DO sometimes suffer from illnesses, injuries, disabilities, etc., etc., and we certainly don't want to marginalize fat people with disabilities just because people they are NOT "healthy" fat people. It kind of reminds me of the problems straight people have responding to the suggestion that perhaps they are gay. On the one hand, if you're not gay, you're not gay, and you don't want to give the MIS-impression that you are. On the other hand, its also tempting to respond, "And so what if I am? Are you interested?" particularly for straight people who don't want to support homophobia in any form.
