An article promoting fat acceptance?

I hope something is done about this dangerous cult that keeps the obese away from getting the help they need.

You can either try meeting people where they're at and understand the issues they're having; or continue to try to shame them into getting thinner.

Past ~30 years have shown us that the latter _very clearly_ doesn't work, but sure, a "dangerous cult".

Surely there's something between shaming and acceptance. Neither are helpful, after all. The recent 'body positivity' movement just sends a message that it's _okay_ to be obese.
