Because it’s both. 
Since we’re not doing anything to address obesity from a social justice standpoint, at least let us who approach it with personal responsibility have some positive reward. 
For some reason we have to have the worst of both worlds. 
Given that covid is worse for obese people - Okay, can we have free healthcare? More healthy alternatives for low income communities? No, promote “body positivity” instead. 
So we’d rather have a society that says fat is beautiful but also stay home and wear a mask because we’re all so vulnerable and high risk and obese, or [b]DO something about it[/b], and meanwhile allow those who worked hard to NOT be obese enjoy the benefits of a healthy life. [/quote]

Like what? Telling people to lose weight is not effective. Fat-shaming is not effective. Characterizing fat people as lazy is not effective. Announcing that fat people are ugly is not effective. Discriminating against fat people is not effective and is also illegal. What's your idea? Do you think fat people will lose weight if government requires fat people to stay home and wear a mask but allows non-fat people to go out and lead a regular life?[/quote]
