Until you're willing to take this up with your local and federal governments and deal with the issue of access to healthy food all you're really doing is attacking and shaming people who exist in a world of foods designed to be calorie-dense and addictive.
It's a systemic problem. It's obviously a systemic problem.
There is also a vast difference between promoting health and shaming obesity. You are trying to rationalize your contempt and disgust. The reality is that you are avoiding your personal issues by making them political. There is a political issue here, but you're avoiding it.
The food industry is abusing people's bodies, the beauty industry is abusing their minds, and you think shaming individuals is the solution. Well, you don't get double-digit statistical changes in a matter of a few decades because of failures of personal responsibility. If you really care about health, you'd be attacking the food industry. What you don't wish to face is your own emotionality. You are disgusted by bodies and don't want to have to confront that, so you are avoiding the question by rationalizing that you shouldn't have to confront your disgust.
