What is people of size?
Politically correct term for people who are obese or overweight.
Used to avoid the scientific and medical implications, whose truths may be too confrontational.
Often used to piggyback off the sympathy from similar terms such as "People of color", a legitimately discriminated group.
Doctor: "Your current weight qualifies you as 'obese'. We can help you return to a healthy weight."
Patient: "That won't be necessary because I'm not obese, I'm 'people of size'."
