You’d think there would be more acceptance of obesity as the populace has become increasingly overweight on the whole, but it’s become associated more with poverty and ignorance so it’s viewed in a more negative light than ever, apparently.
See, I disagree somewhat with what you say in that I think it’s an aesthetic thing - fat people are considered ugly-looking. Kind of dirty with awful habits. Of course, I’d love to see the photos of people who dislike the looks of fat people!
