Why is it acceptable to make nasty comments about overweight people?
While at the beach today, 3-young men (maybe in their early 20s) were making rude comments and laughing at a large women in a two-piece. It is not acceptable to make comments regarding race or religion or other personal attributes but it seems fine to make nasty comments about overweight people.
Why?

Some have to be on medication which makes them gain weight. I know some who are. They cannot lose weight in the regular way either. Metabolism is also a factor. "Plump" people are not usually lazy, dirty, or careless. One should never criticize another till they have walked in their shoes!

I totally agree
It's only acceptable if you sit there listening and don't say anything to the ones making rude comments. Otherwise by societies standards, it's not acceptable. By the freedom of speech clause, it is unfortunately. And yes, you can still make comments about the rest you mentioned but you can not say things about them that incite crime or violence against them.

It isn't acceptable. There are many reasons why people are overweight and nobody has any idea, or any right to know, why a person is overweight.
I find the sight of people who are overweight offensive if they are eating at the time and littering the streets with wrappings. I would never make any comment about their weight, though I would about the litter.

And I guess you find it acceptable when a wealthy or skinny person does the same thing, you've just described a slob, and they come in all sizes, gender and colors.
True I detest litter & often pick it up if the offender isn't around. Litter seems to beget litter
