The key here is to encourage and promote healthy behaviors no matter what size you are, and to treat human beings like humans. I don't know why it became socially acceptable to treat others like absolute garbage in public, but it sure isn't going to help society become healthier.

How do we know it isn't going to help? Because we've been trying it for decades. Thin people yelling at fat people to lose weight in public does nothing. Time to focus on the systemic unhealthy issues our culture has and stop treating someone's fatness as their own, individual failure.
