Well it's not contagious so that's a point

Oh frick her. She is using word salad to mislead here. Illness being something like the flu. Fat doesn't cause that. Disease being something like diabetes. Fat is 100% linked to that. So she's technically right but she is wrong for even putting it out there in that matter.
Perfect example would be COVID. Being fat won't make you catch it more than someone else. But it will make it worse and potentially fatal.
