The vast majority of people are not obese, yet they have 24/7 access to food. Seems like there's a disconnect in your reasoning there.

- dragonwriter 11y ago> The vast majority of people are not obese, yet they have 24/7 access to food. The vast majority of people in the world do not have access to bountiful food. In the US, where the vast majority do have such access, an absolute majority are at least overweight, and more than a third are obese.
