Maybe because it takes work to be overtly skinny and where as someone who maybe has picked up some weight could just need some motivation to get off their arse, exercise and eat better.
Personally I find that its becoming acceptable to comment on overweight people, especially in America. I think people should feel self-conscious either way, bones or belly.
