I would argue that there IS something wrong with encouraging people (and their children!) to consume multiple times their nutritional requirements, the bulk of it in refined sugars, salt and processed fats. I would say there IS something wrong with encouraging people to not try to lose weight when they are clearly and obviously overweight.
There is a massive difference, of course, with people who have various medical/genetic conditions that make it impossible to maintain a healthy weight, but i have very little sympathy for people who choose to eat themselves into an early grave.
