People don't fat-bash because they think fat is unhealthy, they do it because they think fat is ugly, and they can't separate their feelings for the excess fat on their bodies (actual or theoretical) from their feelings for other human beings who happen to be fat.
Nobody bashes people for smoking and drinking on the FB because, first, good looking people look cool when they smoke and drink, and second, smoking and drinking don't ruin your looks until you have been doing them for a long, long time, by which time you will be old.

Now, you can't prevent getting old, unless you jump off a cliff before you get there. But you can prevent getting fat. One way to prevent that is to say horrible things about fat people.
