If you are overweight, you should work to not be overweight.
It's a health problem. Being of a proper weight isn't some image or lifestyle, its simply the best way to be, and society encourages that.
The fact that she has no problem with being overweight is NOT a good thing. Infact, it is only setting the stage for more problems later on.
There is nothing good about being fat, and promoting 'fat acceptance' is not a good thing, its just being PC for the sake of being PC. People should try and be as healthy as possible, and parents should encourage that.
It boggles my mind why anyone would actually want to be fat, and not work to prevent it, or fix the problem.
