Dude, you missed the entire point of the essay.

“If you feel healthy, you are healthy” is simply not true. Obesity is linked to tons of health issues (diabetes, heart disease, cancers, gout, breathing problems) and these health issues cost the US more than any other unhealthy behavior (smoking, drinking). It’s sad that people’s feelings are hurt by the truth, but how heavy you are is a visible sign of your health and the heavier you are the less healthy you are. Hurt feelings are not an argument against facts.
