The case you mention is clearly exceptional. It does not explain the huge rise in obesity over the last few decades.
To clarify: when I say "obesity is a moral disease" I'm talking about obesity as a social trend, not a specific overweight person - those can have very good explanations... but the majority don't, imho.
