But there's a tinge of fanaticism; there's a blog of a lady who had to lose weight because of a health condition, and found a way to do so; but instead of supporting her, she was viciously attacked.
That's a warning sign of NOT acceptance.

Several years back I spend a fair amount of time exploring the fat acceptance folks. They tend to confuse the social justice aspect of things, with which I entirely agree, with the scientific/medical aspect of things. I noticed the same thing, if anyone lost weight they were villified whatever the reason for the weight loss and whatever the method.
