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.

perhaps, but who is to say there is no freedom to be fat?
If being fat is unhealthy and thus bad, then should smoking be banned? Food is necessary for existence while smoking tobacco is not.
I'd think in life, a person should be free to live how he/she wants, is not hurting anybody in the process and is willing to accept the consequences of his/her behavior. Merely being overweight is not prohibited by the Bill of Rights.

Queen Latifah is overweight, but plenty of guys dig her. if someone finds overweight women attractive, then how is that different from saying blondes, long haired women or East Asian women are attractive? It's just another personal and subjective taste.
