Unfortunately the health-at-any-size people took that and made it to mean fat means healthy, and that couldn't be fatter from the truth.

Would you tell a woman that her large breasts wouldn't cause back issues and not to get a breast reduction?

Why would you think the same things don't impact your knees and joints? Nobody is less than for being overweight, but talk to anyone who once was overweight / obese (im one) and they will tell you that going up stairs without being in pain / winded is definitely a signal of healthier living.

Apart from the extremely rare fringe weirdo people are not saying being fat is strictly healthier than not.

Yeah I definitely misread the post and took it from a point of they were already making that claim. I have no relevant experience or claim in that case.

So large breasts never cause back problems?

They are asking you to provide evidence that the claim is being made, not arguing in favor of the claim
