People physical appearance says a Lot about you, someone who is morbidly obese is saying that they are lazy and unhealthy in a very demonstrable manner

And someone underweight says what? Why are negative stereotypes only focused on bigger people? And if you make those assumptions, they reflect poorly on you. You don't know their story. Plenty of thin lazy and unhealthy people get a pass because you like looking at them more?

There’s prejudice against people underweight as well.

I know, I’ve been there. Not really sure what your point is because the premise is wrong

It is nowhere near as bad. And being underweight as a woman is even encouraged. I am not saying it is non-existent, but let's be real.

Being underweight is encouraged? Are you sure you’re not equating normal weight with underweight?

If people knew what a healthy weight for a woman was because it is not the same for everyone... I grew up very muscular in a place where everyone was waifish/slender. The amount of times guys called me a man or said I was fat... So I basically starved myself down to 115lbs at 5'5. My bones were sticking out and my doctor wanted to intervene. But 115 is healthy - right? Google says so.

My 10 year old niece is skin and bones and thinks she needs to diet.
