I totally understand the fact that one can be overweight/obese due to different reasons and so will need clothes of the right size to fit them. However, of recent I feel that instead of dealing with primary problem (excessive weight) as that can be dangerous to one's health, people are proudly resorting to plus size stores, shopping happily not worried a bit about the health risk they are harboring. Do you think plus size stores are demotivating weight loss among overweight/obese population?

Everybody isn't the same. People trying to make everyone the same are bullies.
There is a serious health issue associated with obesity and that's why it should be acknowledged and treated with utmost importance. I have a friend who is obese and she's going through some health challenges. Things are really tough for her.
The truth is that there will always be plus sized people. So it is only considerable to have stores specially for them. There's no rule that says all obese people must exercise to tone down their weight, so some out there are okay with their body.
no it's not good for health
Celebrating plus-size bodies promotes self-worth and challenges harmful beauty standards. It’s about inclusion, not encouraging poor health. Health and size aren’t always the same. Promoting wellness at every size is a more balanced, respectful approach.

This is complex issue. Advocates of the plus-size movement argue that it promotes body positivity, self-acceptance, and challenges societal beauty standards, encouraging individuals to embrace all body types.
On the other hand, critics often raise concerns about the potential health risks associated with excessive weight, including increased risks for conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and other metabolic disorders.

Some weight or lack of weight isn't a big deal. It's a very subjective issue and some others are bringing it up for bullying purposes.
And , of course fat people etc are targeted as a cheap shots because others are angry with them for other issues (jealousy, resentment etc ).

Body positivity does not mean you turn blind towards the fact. I once watched someone make a statement online demanding two seats because she couldn't fit in one seat. If you need two seats just pay for it. For some people obesity is a genetic conditions and no matter how much they try, they cannot lose weight.
Those overweight individuals must seek advice from their doctor on what to do to reduce their weight instead of finding plus-size clothes. They will not be encouraged to lose weight.
While I don't believe in body shaming people I think having accepting some people as plus size and even celebrating them doesn't make obese people to see the need to trim down their size. I think we should tone down on the approval level we give to plus size people.
All obesity isn't the same. Some people are so large that obviously something is dangerous for them, while others have lived years being reasonably obese and not a big deal.
A plus size cannot normalize the size of the person. it is designed for them to fit certain clothes. Most designers also have an idea how to make the plus size people look cute he he. h
Women who are larger often got big breasts and rear ends, so that's sexy to many people.
