My mother is exactly like that.
She eats healthily, she does regular excercise. her doctor has told her plenty of times that she's perfectly healthy for a woman of her age and yet because she carries a few extra pounds people just assume that she does things like 'lay on a couch and eat pork rinds'
The prejudice is down to it both being a visible medical problem and something that society has deemed to be ugly. I doubt a junkie or an alcoholic would get anywhere near the abuse an obese person would.
