It doesn't have anything to do with it being healthy or not, it's about accepting their lack of discipline while they stuff their bodies with to many calories.
Re: Feminist researcher: Small desks cause 'hostile' environment for fat students
My thoughts are that Morbidly Obese people offend me and I am oppressed because of them. I am shamed for trying to be healthy, talked down to for working hard because I'm "just shallow"; and I have to endure their disgusting sweaty heavy breathing, medical system burdening, hate.
Every where I go, I feel oppression. Just seeing them existing, waddling around, offends me. It makes me feel sorry for the poor and destitute where whole families could survive off the shovels of food these morbidly obese people put into their bodies. Food is a drug for them. And they do not care about others or themselves.
Obviously, this whole post is satire. But it is satire laden with truths including the insults I receive for working out or eating healthier than some.
They shouldn't. They should be opposed to obesity because it removes rights and freedoms from women to be able to chose to do things their their male peers can do. It also limits their careers...which is just a terrible thing from a feminist's perspective.

I can hear it now:
Do you always pack your lunch and eat so healthy?
It must be so hard to workout all the time.
I just wouldn't want to live a life counting calories.
I can't eat around you, it makes me feel guilty.

Among the many insults, here is one in the post you read:
Including:
"You're such a gym bro."
"You're obsessed."
"Who has all the time to plan their meals. Do you not have a life?"
"That looks disgusting. And you eat that?"
"So X will bring Turkey, Y will bring Pie, and dadudemon is bringing a tub of protein to the potluck."
That last one was funny. I laughed.
But I'm not that big. Never have been. They just don't like the idea that they have to feel bad about being fat, out of shape, and lazy. So they deal with it by using "playful" insults.
"They are just messin', man. It's not big deal."
Replace these insults specific to gender, race, or religion. Oh, now we are talking, eh?
Weird, never really experienced that, maybe extremely minor, but if anything, I've been applauded for going to the gym/staying fit/having a good physique and applauded for the willpower it takes to eat healthy and not just snack on the readily available bad-for-you-but-delicious foods.
I am unfortunetly not very sympathetic to the plight of the obese UNLESS they are working to change that condition.
I'm sure it is a thing, it's a thing that was literally brought upon themselves by lack of discipline(most often.) Maybe the best answer is to just buy them bean bags and put a snack machine in the class to make them feel better.........
Seriously though, lose the weight to fit in a desk. The world doesn't need to upsize for obesity, they need to downsize to fit in with "normal" folks.

Demand is going up because it's complete shit. Smart people don't go to medical school anymore. We just get dumbasses. I don't want nurse practioners and physician assistants replacing docs.
Who likes dealing with the problems of stupid people?
Since I work with people and have worked with people, for over 10 years, from all over the US and all over the world, I disagree that it is an OK thing.
