What a ridiculous and bizarre taboo it is that causes people to only ever consider psychological explanations of eating behavior and obesity. Could it maybe be that growing up poor changed something to do with adipose tissue or insulin regulation or God knows what? Obviously not, because obesity can only ever be caused by the Sin of Gluttony, which by basic just-world theory must ultimately reduce to a personal choice in some way, even if we pat you on the head forgivingly and talk about your traumatic childhood. I would ordinarily wonder if the researchers were really this stupid or if it was the journalist, but unfortunately so far as I know most-not-all of academia is also still running on the rule that causal explanations for obesity must be somewhere intermediated by the Sin of Gluttony.
