Do you think the active effort to remove shame from being overweight has hurt us in the long run?

Seems in the last 20 years there have been many efforts to help overweight people feel good about themselves. Big is Beautiful. Trying to promote self esteem in general, especially focused on women. Constant talk about the “average” American citing sizes like 12 for women and 38 waist for men. Not to mention my least favorite, statements like, “I am overweight, but I’m healthy.” Do you think this movement has helped contribute to people getting fatter?
Should we bring back shame for our own good?
