I remember one time way back in the gelatine days of photography, that a guy
called Shel Belinkoff posted a thematically similar photo. It triggered one of
the most on-topic flame wars we ever had.
With this photo, I get the feeling of observing a vulnerable person exposed in
a vulnerable moment. I tend to side with Ann in finding it crossing a fine line
of something negative. Indecency, maybe.

I think that Marco should change his name to Rorschach. If you don't
find anything wrong with someone being fat, there is nothing to
criticize in the photo. Also note that what she is eating is an apple,
something people attempting to lose weight often eat as they can be
filling without a high caloric load.
This is exactly the problem with street photography, the photograph
itself is making no value judgement, however the people looking at it
are free to be as judgmental as they want.

It's complicated, but I certainly mocked obesity in some street photos
in the past and I feel bad about it now... though I worry about friends
who are from a health perspective..
She also actually has food in her mouth and that is always something I
turn away from no matter who is eating..

Yes - I doubt that sadly overweight young woman would enjoy seeing
this..
I've taken this kind of shot in the past, I'll admit.. but now I
find it difficult to look at... rather like facebook shaming..
