> Love the downvotes, btw. I’d wager that you’re getting downvoted for two reasons, first because current science is strongly indicating that “obesity is a moral failing” is factually untrue, so being smug while dead wrong is off putting. And second reason would be the framing of the issue of obesity as being solved by just losing weight. A lot (maybe most? Almost all?) of people that are overweight have at some point lost weight, the bigger challenge is keeping it off long term. So you kind of just Kramer’d into this thread and loudly volunteered unprompted that you don’t understand this stuff on a basic level, aren’t in a position to understand it, and you definitely feel like you’ve accomplished something so enormous that it makes you smarter and better than everybody else. It’s kind of like if you show a kid Google Translate and they start lecturing you about how easy it is to move to Mallorca because Catalan isn’t that hard to pick up
