I honestly feel the same way towards most media highlighting slim people. That said, anything that encourages me to directly change my body without a foundation on health is pretty damn invasive and presumptuous, not to mention shallow. That group sounds pretty defensive with the whole "no need to be ashamed of your body" thing. I'd say they're viewing it less as a pro-heart disease campaign and more of a protest to the other extreme of anorexia. Not saying they're right, rather they seem to have contracted Stockholm Syndrome from their own stomachs are lashing out against the other big problem with weight.

No because no food is "junk food", it's just energy dense foods instead of nutrient dense foods. You can get way more fat eating 10 turkey sandwiches than eating a donut.
There's the idea of flexible dieting, meaning you can eat any sort of food you want, so long as you it in in good proportion and you eat other more nutrient dense foods to make up for it.
I'm a part of a bodybuilding community. A buddy of mine is trying to cut body fat right now because he has a show in 10 weeks, and still 5 days a week he eats ice cream. Ice cream doesn't make you fat, eating a lot of ice cream might put you in a caloric surplus though.
If he can lose body fat eating ice cream, it isn't note worthy enough to put a label on it:
Obesity = Obesity. There isn't moderation about it.

Absolutely disgusting.
Why do people insist on treating medical issues as if they are social issues? Obesity is a medical condition, these people need to seek treatment.
"junk food made me fat"
NO. Eating more than burn made you fat.
Why so many people can't understand basic nutrition? I get the feeling most Americans think 'macro nutrients' means "30kg of sausages"...

I'm proud of myself - I managed to put together that portmanteau without having to Google it.
It's ofcourse extremely stupid. Nobody in their right mind would consider being fat an acceptable, healthy way of being.
Tobacco companies are selling goods. Adipositivity ads aren't selling goods, they're offering their opinion (like political ads). That's where that argument falls down.
Also Cow, watch this:
