There are biological factors (diseases, hereditary, etc.) that make it physically impossible for some people to lose weight no matter how much they diet or exercise. So, as much as people like to think that if they made obese people exercise more and eat less, it won't work for every obese person. I don't see it as a valid argument.
It's discrimination and it's still considered acceptable. Movies like Shallow Hal are considered progressive in thought because it shows obese people in a "positive" light. But did you watch the movie? Did you really watch it? If you did, you would notice that it wasn't the fat person Hal fell in love with, but a pretty blonde bombshell stuck inside an obese woman's body. Did you notice the non-stop fat jokes? Did you think it was funny, or did you take offense? How is that progressive?
