It doesn't seem that hard to me to balance that no one should treat fat people badly, and stores should cater to their needs in terms of plus-sized clothing so they can dress well, but we shouldn't pretend that obesity isn't unhealthy or that public policy shouldn't be built around encouraging more healthy eating and exercise.
Trying to build stigma around it clearly doesn't work, but everyone benefits from efforts to encourage health, overweight or not, and regardless of whether those efforts actually help them lose weight. Public shame, or insisting that stores only provide them loose sacks to dress in just creates misery for no benefit.
