After all, we have just about as much control over fatness as we have over all the other ways we are different from one another. Of course it's ok to be fat, just like it's ok to be thin, or anything in-between fat and thin. The best way to make it mainstream acceptable to be fat is for more and more fat people to learn how to accept themselves as fat, learn to love themselves, and demand the respect and dignity we all deserve as human beings.
