The 'but what about their HEALTH' is concern trolling when paired with such statements as "About 165 people, or 8% of the group, chose ideal body shapes that were the same or bigger than their own, suggesting a misunderstanding of healthy weight." and "14% of black participants had distorted body image, preferring an obese form", conflating standards of beauty (white ones, no less) with health.
"A healthy acceptance of one's own body is undoubtedly critical to good self-esteem. But a lack of awareness of one's own obesity can lead to undiagnosed obesity-related conditions including sleep apnea, high blood pressure and diabetes." <--- does it right there. It equates fat people liking their bodies and/or people liking fat bodies with a lack of awareness of fatness, insinuating that fat people who like their bodies/ people who like fat bodies are deluded.
If the article were actually about the health of fat people, it would not be focusing on those who have standards of beauty that differ from the mainstream and insisting that, because they have differing standards of beauty, that they must be unaware that there are correlations of adiposity with certain conditions. That's not scientific in the least.
Fat people are just to stupid to realize that they are fat and will drop dead at any second. All those fat people you see walking around? At death's door. The moment you avert your gaze, they will drop to the ground stone cold, possibly crushing a small child or beloved pet on the way down. Also: fat is totally new and prior to the 1980s nobody was fat ever. All those photos and illustrations and portraits you see of fat people from the past? Those are all faked. Also: Jesus ate hardly anything at the last supper (we know this from paintings painted by people hundreds of years after it took place) and so he doesn't like fat people either.
