Tim Dillon argues that the current celebration of morbid obesity is a sign of a deeply disturbed society that enables unhealthy behavior.

“so to me the idea that that's become a celebrated part of our society it's not okay it's not okay”

Jessica Kirson argues that health issues associated with extreme obesity should not be celebrated as part of a lifestyle movement.

“i don't also feel like it should be celebrated because it's not healthy”

The body positivity movement's assertion that being morbidly obese is as physically beautiful as other body types is a dishonest message that does not align with people's actual aesthetic preferences.

“the lie is this, that you can be just as beautiful if you're morbidly obese as you can be if you're any other shape or size.”

Jillian Michaels claims that the modern body positivity movement is a tool used by large food corporations to drive profit and discourage criticism of their products.

“you know that body positivity narrative is actually a big food scop and this isn’t a conspiracy theory. The Washington Post actually wrote about it where they co-opted this message of like # derail the shame, no food is junk food and if you say it is, you’re a racist.”
