Aren't you stating the obvious? Hasn't anyone in this thread heard of Charles Darwin? If a female wants to procreate then she will have to force herself to lose weight, which fat shaming might actually encourage, and to be healthy, and if not, that's just nature running its course, culling the weak from the strong

I think you missed the excerpt from the "science" research paper, which I mentioned above:

"“We are finding it has quite the opposite effect. When people feel shamed because of their weight, they are more likely to avoid exercise and consume more calories to cope with this stress. In this study, we identified a significant relationship between the internalization of weight bias and having a diagnosis of metabolic syndrome, which is a marker of poor health.”"
