I think, what this song is really saying is just that people who are naturally bigger boned should accept themselves. I didn't really get that he was condemning skinny people, I read it more like this:
"Walks into the room, feels like a big balloon"
I think what that's saying is that bigger girls often do walk into a room and they feel like they stand out and are self-conscious about their weight and feel bad about themselves. He follows it up by saying "Big girl, you are beautiful" like a vote of confidence, saying "you don't need to be so worried, you're beautiful as you are"
And with the diet coke thing, I think he's trying to say that people try to use diet drinks as a way to lose weight and such, also about putting themselves down when they shouldn't have to.
This song isn't about fat girls being superior, it doesn't advocate being overweight or obese, but what I get from this is that people have to be happy in their own skin, a girl is most beautiful when she;s confident and happy, regardless of her weight. I just hear him telling girls to live naturaly and not be afraid to be who they are.
Some girls are curvy and some are flat, and we all just have to love ourselves as we are.
