There may be special factors we haven't discovered yet, but a lot of people are overweight simply because they don't have the money or will to consume decent food.
imho the article is awful. There was 1 case study and it happened by accident. The title is just giving another excuse to people who are struggling with self-discipline.
- emodendroket 12y agoI don't get this attitude. Like, is the problem with obesity really that people don't feel bad enough about it? I don't think that's it.
- Red_Tarsius 12y ago@emodendroket I didn't fat-shame anyone. I'm struggling with self-discipline myself, like most of the planet. What I'm saying is that many (there a few exeptions) people I met could lose weight by eating healthy food in moderation and not sitting around all day. It takes time, it takes effort and, unfortunately, it takes money to afford anything other than junk food. There's nothing inherently wrong with being fat, sometimes people prefer to focus on other things. However, if you want to change, I have the duty to encourage you toward a healthier path. Sugar coating things – i.e. "you can do nothing about it" – doesn't help.
