"...the reason society should not discriminate against people with obesity is because discriminating against people based on their appearance is wrong."

'Weight bias' affects how we talk about obesity — and it's making things worse

The report then goes on to state that society should not discriminate against people with obesity because it is a "predictable consequence of normal people interacting with obesogenic environments." In other words: Don't discriminate against people with obesity, because they can't help it. They're diseased.

However, the reason society should not discriminate against people with obesity is because discriminating against people based on their appearance is wrong. People of all shapes, sizes, shades and abilities are worthy of respect and fair treatment.

It doesn't help that the authors blame obesity on poor diet quality, albeit because of the modern food environment. This perpetuates the myth that fat people are fat because they eat a lot of fast food and other ultra-processed foods. This is far from a universal truth.
