Also being fat isn't a choice that anybody makes. It is heavily dependent on environment and genetics, both things that people do not control in their formative

  This is false. The world population becoming fat has only been a problem in the last 50 years. It is because we have an abundance of calories available for cheap now, which wasn't the case before.

    Obesity rates also show high correlation with plastic and other chemical contamination. I think it's more nuanced than blaming it entirely on cheap calories/fast food (but that is the main impetus, I'll agree).

  > Also being fat isn't a choice that anybody makes. This is a stretch. The difficulty of losing weight might be related to genetics and the environment and monetary capability, but it is 100% possible for every person on this planet to lose weight. Bodies cannot create calories.

  Of course it is. Plenty of people are fat because they like to eat food and don't like to exercise all that much. Environment and genetics do not change the second law of thermodynamics. There are absolutely some medical conditions that make it hard to lose weight, make you retain water, etc. and it's not as cut and dry as smoking (100% of the time it's 100% your fault), but "being fat isn't a choice" is objectively, laughably wrong.
