Please don’t kill me, everyone, but I’m going to say this: A size zero is not most obviously not a normal (or even just slightly below normal) size for most people. Your body size has to do with your bone structure and musculature AND your body fat, so it’s dumb to try to say that any single size is the ideal. However, by the same token, it is dumb to label anyone who IS a size zero, two, whatever as unhealthily skinny. I think that in their zeal to defend the big people, very often people don’t realize that they are attacking the small people with the same prejudice that they are so against. I am a small person and I get this a lot in real life, and can’t for the life of me understand why people think it is less inappropriate than commenting on someone who is big.
