I don’t usually say something like this on HN, but you are completely and utterly wrong. The obesity epidemic cannot be reduced to some simple moral failure. Multiple twin concordance studies have shown 70%+ inheritability. Those of us who

I understand how frustrating the Seattle housing market can be, but how is any of that the ~seller’s~ buyer’s fault? Your unempathetic rant is directed at someone also suffering the consequences of this market. This house was purchased last
