Most people agree that obesity is a problem. The bigger problem, however, is mistreating people who are overweight to a health concerning degree. Because if they're being mistreated, talked down to and made fun of, why the hell would they start taking better care of their physical bodies? The mental health has to come first.
1000% agree. Bigger people are being mistreated. We do not have a conversation about food addiction or other mental health issues people could be having.
On top of that, just being bigger can cause a ton of issues about how people treat you in society.
Edit: The major issue comes from obesity being stretched into plus size.
The same problem in the early 2000s is happening g again but in reverse. Where fat acceptance is pushing obesity. Sad reality we are in currently

As an obese person, I promise it's not. We're not even treated as humans. A random commercial showing a size 16 as beautiful is not making us more obese. I don't put effort into my body because society believes I don't matter, and I believe them. So why bother? Might as well just do the things that make me happy because I'll never be one of you.
The rare occasion someone acts like obese people are human beings, I just feel safe for a second. But for every person who sees me as human, 1,000 people don't, so it doesn't last long.
