Enjoy the flavor!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Michaels later said on E!&#8217;s&nbsp;<em>Daily Pop<\/em>, &#8220;We cannot deny the inevitable fact that being overweight leads to heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and these things kill people. So if me telling you I don&#8217;t celebrate someone being overweight because it could kill them is fat-shaming, ya got me. But by the way, I also don&#8217;t celebrate anybody&#8217;s weight. I don&#8217;t celebrate you if you&#8217;re a [size] 0. I don&#8217;t celebrate you if you&#8217;re a [size] 6. I don&#8217;t care.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And the argument that I&#8217;m trying to make is that I think people have felt so marginalized&nbsp;for so long and so excluded for so long, that the pendulum has swung to this place where it&#8217;s like, &#8216;You can&#8217;t hurt me with this, I love being overweight,'&#8221; Michaels continued. &#8220;And that&#8217;s the part where I, as a health expert, have to say, this will kill you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t celebrate anyone being overweight because it kills people,&#8221; she said. &#8220;And denying that fact because it&#8217;s politically correct isn&#8217;t honorable and isn&#8217;t virtuous. It&#8217;s irresponsible and arguably dangerous. I just, I&#8217;m sorry I won&#8217;t lie because it&#8217;ll make you like me. I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s doing anyone any favors.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eonline.com\/news\/1112172\/lizzo-s-most-empowering-quotes-to-get-you-through-the-week?cmpid=rss-000000-rssfeed-365-topstories&#038;utm_source=eonline&#038;utm_medium=rssfeeds&#038;utm_campaign=rss_topstories\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: E!
