You can't..because there are no pro's to being fat. It's all cons.
The sooner people accept that the better we will all be. I'm not saying its easy to lose weight, nor am I saying overweight people should be shunned, or anything else. I am saying that having an attitude of acceptance should not be kosher.
Think what you want, but any parent that lets their child be overweight is not doing their job as a parent, and is only setting their kid up for a shitty life down the road.

What about those who are big, i.e. they have a large frame and tend to have a little extra jiggle, or those that have genetic disorders(thyroid for instance) that make them more predisposed to packing on some extra pounds? Would you consider their parents sub-par?
I think I understand what you're saying though. Correct me if I'm wrong, but your big hang-up is with people who don't take care of themselves, and parents who don't teach and then reinforce in their kids the value of proper diet and exercise. I totally agree with that.
