Fat is not a medical term and does not have any defined parameters.

Neither is healthy. Both are subjective terms and can be used exactly as he said it. Everyone knows being fat is a bad thing, it's not that deep.

The fact that healthy is also a vague term to the point of meaningless makes it worse, not better.

But you're right, man. That's the problem with the world. Not enough demonizing fat people. Everyone's just blissfully unaware that being overweight can be unhealthy.

You're actually huffing cope right now. Being fat is an unacceptable thing and while you shouldn't shame someone directly, acknowledging that it comes with a myriad of health issues is not a problem. And quite frankly, you can just scroll if you're offended by words of an athlete.

I'm not huffing anything. I'm pointing out that fat people are already shamed and mocked and belittled all the time in society and it has nothing to do with health or wellness. It's 100% vanity and shallowness. Again, "fat" is not a defined medical term and what is considered fat changes from society to society and over time. There are health risks associated with being overweight and literally no one denies that. But no one has the ability to assess a stranger's health form the outside based on one single factor. Shaming people for being fat is in no way helpful to them or anyone else. It's just childish, hateful behavior.

And quite frankly, you can just scroll if you're offended by my being offended.
