There are a million reasons why fat shaming is terrible, these are just a few. The same reasoning as for the plastic problem: blaming consumers, while producers really play the biggest role:
* Why our food is making us fat: theguardian.com/business/2012/
* The Behind-The-Scenes Marketing Tricks That Make Food Irresistible: foodbabe.com/the-behind-the-sc
* Coca-Cola Funds Scientists Who Shift Blame for Obesity Away From Bad Diets: well.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/08
* Food firms could face litigation over neuromarketing to hijack brains: theguardian.com/society/2018/m

@dhuy Another reason is that it likely doesn't help, and makes people go into denial and apathy, beside making their lives more miserable.

I feel important also not to go too far on the other side, and relieving people of personal responsibility. Shaming is not the way though.
