I am a formerly obese person who got out of that cycle before HAES hit. I had obese people tell me that HAES meant they are healthy if they could walk up a flight of stairs. Those are the people I am talking about, and they seemed to be people saying HAES the loudest. If there’s a public perception problem surrounding HAES that’s not on the public, that’s on the people who let their message get diluted.
For the record, I made no comment about morality, though I do consider overconsumption to be immoral.

Fair enough, there were also people that misused the term that also made the messaging worthless as well.
