Man, this article just crushes it. Some choice quotes:

Many fat crusaders discredit the health benefits of weight loss in order to maintain their narrative that fat people are victimized.

“Health at Any Size;" the lie is built into its very name, as it fantasizes that people who need to catch their breath halfway up a flight of stairs are on par with those who bound them two by two.

Fat acceptance has succeeded in maligning diets in favour of doing nothing,

Striving to live better is admirable. Conversely, while you are free to be yourself and eat whatever you like, you don’t deserve accolades for it.

And then the author ruins it all with this last bit:

While I sympathize and have compassion for the obese, and I’ll defend them from snark and ridicule, I’ll reserve my admiration for the person (fat or thin) who hasn’t cancelled her gym membership a few days into 2016.

All those truth bombs and you still have fat sympathy. So sad. And why does the fat glutton get placed on equal footing with someone who has more discipline? And why would someone who is fit cancelling their gym membership be just as bad as some lazy fat fuck who cancels theirs?

See, this is the problem here. This person is sacrificing logic in favor of some last ditch attempt to spare the fee fees of fatties and fat sympathizers. You don't just hammer someone for 9 rounds and then back off in round 10. What the hell? Are they afraid of some social media backlash?
