And definitely watch this....
Calling someone "fat" may sound neutral to you. But unless you want to be dishonest, you know it has always been a slur word and never used neutrally. For many people, it carries years of stigma, ridicule and judgement..
I get the point you are making, treating it as a neutral descriptor like tall and short and yes it can be used that way. But why many people react strongly to it isn't just about the word, it's the social context and history behind it.
Alot of overweight people have dealt with bullying in schools and environment, comments from families, discrimination, jokes in media etc unlike the other descriptions you mentioned.
When somebody body size is pointed out, it feels like their whole identity is reduced to their weight which tends to trigger defensiveness. It's called a psychological or trauma response.
Yes being fat is unhealthy, but even when weight is linked to health problems, shaming usually doesn't motivate change.
Been blunt and shaming about it often doesn't bring solutions, if anything it brings embarrassment, anger, avoidance. Psychologically people respond better to support, mind your words. It doesn't hurt to BE KIND
Keep an open mind, you think they are not aware of the health risks? You probably think they are not trying either on their part. Outrightly saying "Do something about it" simply shows your lack of empathy and dismissing the many factors that had played out in their defensiveness because alot of people struggle factors which includes genetics, hormonal conditions, metabolism, mental health, access to good diet , medications, environment and even socioeconomic factors. Anyways what do I know ๐
