I do not find obesity attractive. Nor do I think most men.
Because of this fact, you will never see women on television who are obese modeling products designed to make you more attractive. If people can get past that, then it's a big step. Right now I hear people shouting that they never show "fat" women selling products, but that will not change.
Healthy women, however, are an entirely difficult boat. I do believe that models in the media are far below what should be considered healthy, but shooting to the other end of the spectrum for fun isn't going to any better.
I don't think we should actively encourage obesity, or make it so that being obese is an 'okay' look. It's like encouraging someone to commit suicide; you're telling them that it is okay to eat two boxes of cereal for breakfast, three hamburgers for lunch, etc, etc. because they're still pretty. They're not.
We should not be promoting ultra-skinny "genetic freaks," nor should we be promoting obese "genetic freaks." We should be promoting healthy men and women. It really comes down to that.
