    Is it really reasonable to say that no one should ever feel bad about the way they look?

    How about if they are a member of the majority of the population which is overweight and will pay for it now and in the future (along with everyone else). Should they be happy with the way they look. It's been pretty well documented that cosmetic concerns can be more effective at motivating people to change serious health problems than explaining the health issue directly.
