blaming someone who is overweight for the oppressive culture that belittles them for making their own body choices (and even those for whom it is not) is pretty much the same as blaming someone who dressed in a manner you find promiscuous for being sexually assaulted
also comparing smoking to being overweight is a terrible analogy because smokers aren't routinely told by strangers, family, and the media that their way of life is ugly and wrong and they deserve to be made fun of and trivialised
(also overweight != unhealthy, hth)
