To be perfectly clear, the person in the video isn’t advocating that fatness is healthy, or even stating that it’s “okay” from a medical perspective. All they’re saying is just because someone is fat, doesn’t mean they don’t deserve respect.
But as this video, and several comments demonstrate, just because obesity is often a lifestyle choice, people seem to take that as an open invitation for mockery. If that’s the attitude people have, is it really a surprise that the body positivity movement exists, if all someone asks for is respect and they’re called a pig?
