Definitely agree. There's nothing wrong with feeling good about yourself and positive body image, but being massively overweight isn't natural. Don't take my word for it, let science do the talking. Its bad for your joints, organs, and so on.
As a fat guy, I agree.
In terms of attractiveness, that just goes back to our cave man/monkey roots. Lacking science, sophistication, genetic mapping, & cocktails, proto humans & early man for a few million years had to judge on-sight through physical attraction who would be the best to breed with while having the smallest likeliness of illness or defects. That kind of hard wiring doesn't go away because society evolves. It just gets suppressed - if we're lucky. The pedophiles, psychopaths, & extreme autistic folks who are problematic today are partly who kept us alive as a species for many thousands of years.
In terms of hard science, the effects on joints, organs, etc. is simply physics. After a heart attack, & two back surgeries and potential for a third (triplets!) I'm learning all sorts of new things in my 50s that I couldn't imagine in my 20s.
